In a parallel plate capacitor,two dielectric slabs of thicknesses $t_1$ and $t_2$ and dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively are inserted. What is the capacitance of this capacitor?

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{t_1}{K_1} + \frac{t_2}{K_2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{K_1}{t_1} + \frac{K_2}{t_2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{t_1}{K_2} + \frac{t_2}{K_1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{K_2}{t_1} + \frac{K_1}{t_2}}$

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by a distance $d.$ Two slabs of different dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ with thicknesses $\frac{3}{8} d$ and $\frac{d}{2}$ respectively are inserted into the capacitor. Due to this,the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If $K_1 = 1.25 K_2,$ find the value of $K_1.$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has capacitance $C$,when there is vacuum within the parallel plates. $A$ sheet having thickness $t = d/3$ (where $d$ is the separation between the plates) and relative permittivity $K$ is introduced between the plates. The new capacitance of the system is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ has spacing $d$ between two plates having area $A$. The region between the plates is filled with $N$ dielectric layers,parallel to its plates,each with thickness $\delta = \frac{d}{N}$. The dielectric constant of the $m^{\text{th}}$ layer is $K_m = K(1 + \frac{m}{N})$. For a very large $N (> 10^3)$,the capacitance $C$ is $\alpha \left( \frac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d \ln 2} \right)$. The value of $\alpha$ will be. . . . . . . .

An air-filled parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $2 \ pF$. If the separation between the plates is doubled and the interspace between the plates is filled with a dielectric material,the capacity increases to $6 \ pF$. The dielectric constant of the material is:

An air capacitor has capacitance $C_1$. The space between the two plates of the capacitor is filled with two dielectrics as shown in the figure. The new capacitance of the capacitor is $C_2$. The ratio $\frac{C_1}{C_2}$ is ($d=$ distance between two plates of the capacitor,$K_1$ and $K_2$ are dielectric constants of the two dielectrics respectively).
