A parallel plate capacitor with plate area 'AA' and distance of separation 'dd' is filled with a dielectric. What is the capacity of the capacitor when permittivity of the dielectric varies as:

ε(x)=ε0+kxε\left(x\right) = {ε}_{0} + kx, for \left(0 < x \le \dfrac{d}{2}\right)</p><p></p><p>ε\left(x\right) = {ε}_{0} + k\left(d - x\right),for(d2≤x≤d), for \left(\dfrac{d}{2} \le x \le d\right)

A parallel plate capacitor with plate area ' A ' and distance of separation ' d ' is filled with a dielectric. What is

Options

  1. A(ε0+kd2)2/kA{\left({ε}_{0} + \dfrac{kd}{2}\right)}^{2 / kA}
  2. B\dfrac{kA}{2ln\left(\dfrac{2{ε}_{0} + kd}{2{ε}_{0}}\right)}
  3. C00
  4. DkA2ln⁡(2ε02ε0−kd)\dfrac{kA}{2}\ln \left(\dfrac{2{ε}_{0}}{2{ε}_{0} - kd}\right)

Correct answer

B. \dfrac{kA}{2ln\left(\dfrac{2{ε}_{0} + kd}{2{ε}_{0}}\right)}
