The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the electric fields inside two capacitors, one with a dielectric slab and the other with air between the plates, after they are connected in series to a battery. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Capacitors**: - Let \( C_1 \) be the capacitor with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant \( K = 3 \). - Let \( C_2 \) be the identical capacitor with air between the plates. 2. **Capacitance Calculation**: - The capacitance of \( C_1 \) with the dielectric is given by: \[ C_1 = K \cdot C = 3C \] - The capacitance of \( C_2 \) (with air) remains: \[ C_2 = C \] 3. **Total Capacitance in Series**: - The total capacitance \( C_{total} \) for capacitors in series is given by: \[ \frac{1}{C_{total}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \frac{1}{C_{total}} = \frac{1}{3C} + \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1 + 3}{3C} = \frac{4}{3C} \] - Therefore, the total capacitance is: \[ C_{total} = \frac{3C}{4} \] 4. **Voltage Across Each Capacitor**: - Let the voltage across the series combination be \( V \). - The voltage across \( C_1 \) (with dielectric) is: \[ V_1 = \frac{Q}{C_1} = \frac{Q}{3C} \] - The voltage across \( C_2 \) (with air) is: \[ V_2 = \frac{Q}{C_2} = \frac{Q}{C} \] 5. **Relation Between Voltages**: - Since the total voltage \( V = V_1 + V_2 \): \[ V = \frac{Q}{3C} + \frac{Q}{C} \] - To combine these, find a common denominator: \[ V = \frac{Q}{3C} + \frac{3Q}{3C} = \frac{4Q}{3C} \] 6. **Electric Field Calculation**: - The electric field \( E \) in a capacitor is given by: \[ E = \frac{V}{d} \] - For \( C_1 \): \[ E_1 = \frac{V_1}{d} = \frac{\frac{Q}{3C}}{d} = \frac{Q}{3Cd} \] - For \( C_2 \): \[ E_2 = \frac{V_2}{d} = \frac{\frac{Q}{C}}{d} = \frac{Q}{Cd} \] 7. **Finding the Ratio**: - The ratio of the electric fields is: \[ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{\frac{Q}{3Cd}}{\frac{Q}{Cd}} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the electric field inside the two capacitors is: \[ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{1}{3} \]
