The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C (without any dielectric) is now filled with three dielectric slabs of dielectric constants and (as shown in figure). If new capacitance is then the value of is .

Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The initial capacitance is .
From the figure, the capacitor is divided into three parts.
The bottom half is divided into two capacitors and in parallel, each with area and thickness .
The equivalent capacitance of the bottom part is .
The top half is a single capacitor with area and thickness .
.
The total capacitance is the series combination of and .
Comparing with , we get .
