The gap between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of area $A$ and distance between plates $d$ is filled with a dielectric whose permittivity varies linearly from $\varepsilon_1$ at one plate to $\varepsilon_2$ at the other. The capacitance of the capacitor is

  • A
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_1 + \varepsilon_2)A/d$
  • B
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_2 + \varepsilon_1)A/2d$
  • C
    $\varepsilon_0 A / [d \ln(\varepsilon_2/\varepsilon_1)]$
  • D
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_2 - \varepsilon_1)A / [d \ln(\varepsilon_2/\varepsilon_1)]$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a plate separation of $d$ and each plate has an area $A$. What is the capacitance when a dielectric slab of thickness $t$ and dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the plates?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $80 \times 10^{-6} \ F$ when air is present between the plates. The volume between the plates is then completely filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 20$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of $30 \ V$. The dielectric slab is then removed while the capacitor remains connected to the battery. Calculate the charge that passes through the wire.

In a parallel plate capacitor setup,the plate area of the capacitor is $2 \, m^{2}$ and the plates are separated by $1 \, m$. If the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric material of thickness $0.5 \, m$ and area $2 \, m^{2}$ (see figure),the capacitance of the setup will be $......... \, \varepsilon_{0}$. (Dielectric constant of the material $= 3.2$) (Round off to the nearest integer).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is constructed with two plates. Each plate has an area of $100 \ cm^2$ and they are separated by a distance of $1 \ mm$. $A$ dielectric with a dielectric constant of $5.0$ and a dielectric strength of $1.9 \times 10^7 \ V/m$ is filled between the plates. Find the maximum charge that can be stored on the capacitor without causing dielectric breakdown.
