A parallel plate capacitor is made up of stair like structure with a plate area A of each stair and that is connected with a wire of length b , as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the arrangement is x 15 ε 0 A b , The value of x is _____ .
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Here the system can be considered as three capacitors in parallel. So, net capacitance is C = ε 0 A 5 b + ε 0 A 3 b + ε 0 A b C = ε 0 A b 1 5 + 1 3 + 1 1 C = 23 ε 0 A 15 b
