A parallel plate capacitor with plate area $'A'$ and distance of separation $'d'$ is filled with a dielectric. What is the capacity of the capacitor when permittivity of the dielectric varies as :
$\varepsilon(x)=\varepsilon_{0}+k x, \text { for }\left(0\,<\,x \leq \frac{d}{2}\right)$
$\varepsilon(x)=\varepsilon_{0}+k(d-x)$, for $\left(\frac{d}{2} \leq x \leq d\right)$
The capacitance of an air filled parallel plate capacitor is $10\,p F$. The separation between the plates is doubled and the space between the plates is then filled with wax giving the capacitance a new value of $40 \times {10^{ - 12}}farads$. The dielectric constant of wax is
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 $\frac {2d}{3}$ . Capacitance of the capacitor is now........$pF$
Explain polarisation of polar molecule in uniform electric field.
Which one statement is correct ? A parallel plate air condenser is connected with a battery. Its charge, potential, electric field and energy are ${Q_o},\;{V_o},\;{E_o}$ and ${U_o}$ respectively. In order to fill the complete space between the plates a dielectric slab is inserted, the battery is still connected. Now the corresponding values $Q,\;V,\;E$ and $U$ are in relation with the initially stated as
