Question

Parallel plate capacitor of capcitance C. Please show work. NOTE: I have already tried answer "(k+1)C" and it is INCORRECT.

(14%) Problem 7: Consider a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C and distance between plates d and d plate area 24. A slab of dielectric material of thickness d and dielectric constant K 1 is inserted between plates filling half of region between the plates (see figure). A The capacitance of such "combined" capacitor is now I give up Submit Hints for a 0% deduction. Hints remaining: 0 Feedback 0% deduction per feedback. You can treat this system like two capacitors connected in parallel. Now include the effects of the dielectric.

Explanation / Answer

According to the question

Adding dielectric will increase capacitance
so upper part is xc
lower part is c
they are in parallel
so (x+1)c/2
