Question

A capacitor is made of a flat plate of area A and a second plate having a stair-like structure as shown in figure. If the area of each stair is

\frac{A}{3}

and the height is

d

, the capacitance of the arrangement is : A capacitor is made of a flat plate of area A and a second plate having a stair-like structure as shown in figure. If

Correct answer: B. 11 _ o A 18 ~d

All capacitor are in parallel combination. Also effective area is common area only aligned & C_ eq =C_1+C_2+C_3 & C_ eq =(A _0)/(3 d)+(A _0)/(3(2 d))+(A _0)/(3(3 d)) & C_ eq =(A _0)/(3)((11)/(6 d)) & C_ eq =(11 A _0)/(18 d) aligned
