A dielectric slab of dielectric constant 55 having length 1cm1cm, width 4cm4cm and thickness 4mm4mm is inserted between the plates of parallel plate capacitor. The electrostatic energy of this system will be _____ ϵ0J{ϵ}_{0}J. (Where ϵ0{ϵ}_{0} is the permittivity of free space)A parallel plate capacitor with width 4cm , length 8cm and separation between the plates of 4mm is connected to a

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The figure below shows the parallel plate capacitor with dielectric slab placed in between the plates.

A parallel plate capacitor with width 4cm , length 8cm and separation between the plates of 4mm is connected to a

Now, the effective capacitance of the combination is

Ceff=[ε0(7×4)410+5ε0(1×4)410]×10−2{C}_{eff} = \left[\dfrac{{ε}_{0}\left(7 \times 4\right)}{\dfrac{4}{10}} + \dfrac{5{ε}_{0}\left(1 \times 4\right)}{\dfrac{4}{10}}\right] \times {10}^{- 2}

=[70ε0+50ε0]×10−2=120ε0×10−2= \left[70{ε}_{0} + 50{ε}_{0}\right] \times {10}^{- 2} = 120{ε}_{0} \times {10}^{- 2}

⇒Ceff=1.2ε0⇒ {C}_{eff} = 1 . 2{ε}_{0}

Electrostatics energy of this system is =12CeffV2= \dfrac{1}{2}{C}_{eff}{V}^{2}

=12(1.2)ε0(20)(20)=240ε0= \dfrac{1}{2}\left(1 . 2\right){ε}_{0}\left(20\right)\left(20\right) = 240{ε}_{0}
