Question

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 pF$ . The separation between its plates is ' $d$ '. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has dielectric constant $k_{1} = 3$ and thickness $\frac{d}{3}$ while the other one has dielectric constant $k_{2} = 6$ and thickness $\frac{2 d}{3}$ . Capacitance of the capacitor is now

Answer:

C

Solution:

$C^{'} = \frac{A ε _{0}}{\frac{d _{1}}{3} + \frac{d _{2}}{6}} = \frac{A ε _{0}}{\frac{d}{9} + \frac{2 d}{18}} = \frac{18 A ε _{0}}{4 d} C^{'} = 40.5 PF$
