Two identical parallel plate capacitors, of capacitance CC each, have plates of area A,separatedbyadistanceseparated by a distanced.Thespacebetweentheplatesofthetwocapacitors,isfilledwiththreedielectrics,ofequalthicknessanddielectricconstants. The space between the plates of the two capacitors, is filled with three dielectrics, of equal thickness and dielectric constants{K}_{1}, {K}_{2} and {K}_{3}.Thefirstcapaciitorisfilledasshowninfigure. The first capaciitor is filled as shown in figureI,andthesecondoneisfilledasshowninfigureand the second one is filled as shown in figureII .
If these two modified capacitors are charged by the same potential VV , the ratio of the energy stored in the two, would be (E1( {E}_{1} refers to capacitor \left(I\right) and {E}_{2}tocapacitorto capacitor( II ) ):

Options

  1. AE1E2=9K1K2K3(K1K2K3)(K2K3+K3K1K1+K1K2)\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{9K{}_{1}K{}_{2}K{}_{3}}{( K{}_{1}K{}_{2}K{}_{3} ) ( K{}_{2}K{}_{3} + K{}_{3}K{}_{1}K{}_{1} + K{}_{1}K{}_{2} )}
  2. BE1E2=(K1K2K3)(K2K3+K3K1K1+K1K2)K1K2K3\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{( K{}_{1}K{}_{2}K{}_{3} ) ( K{}_{2}K{}_{3} + K{}_{3}K{}_{1}K{}_{1} + K{}_{1}K{}_{2} )}{{K}_{1}{K}_{2}{K}_{3}}
  3. CE1E2=(K1K2K3)(K2K3+K3K1K1+K1K2)9K1K2K3\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{( K{}_{1}K{}_{2}K{}_{3} ) ( K{}_{2}K{}_{3} + K{}_{3}K{}_{1}K{}_{1} + K{}_{1}K{}_{2} )}{9{K}_{1}{K}_{2}{K}_{3}}

Correct answer

A. E1E2=9K1K2K3(K1K2K3)(K2K3+K3K1K1+K1K2)\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{9K{}_{1}K{}_{2}K{}_{3}}{( K{}_{1}K{}_{2}K{}_{3} ) ( K{}_{2}K{}_{3} + K{}_{3}K{}_{1}K{}_{1} + K{}_{1}K{}_{2} )}

Step-by-step solution

Energy stored in a capacitor E=12CV2E = \dfrac{1}{2}C{V}^{2}
⇒E1E2=C1C2⇒ \dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}
Two identical parallel plate capacitors, of capacitance C each, have plates of area A, separated by a distance d . The
C1=(d3ε0k1A+d3ε0Ak2+d3ε0Ak3)−1{C}_{1} = {\left(\dfrac{d}{3{ε}_{0}{k}_{1}A} + \dfrac{d}{3{ε}_{0}A{k}_{2}} + \dfrac{d}{3{ε}_{0}A{k}_{3}}\right)}^{- 1}
=(d3Aε0)−1(1k1+1k2+1k3)−1= {\left(\dfrac{d}{3A{ε}_{0}}\right)}^{- 1}{\left(\dfrac{1}{{k}_{1}} + \dfrac{1}{{k}_{2}} + \dfrac{1}{{k}_{3}}\right)}^{- 1}
=(d3Aε0)−1(k1k2+k2k3+k3k1k1k2k3)−1= {\left(\dfrac{d}{3A{ε}_{0}}\right)}^{- 1}{\left(\dfrac{{k}_{1}{k}_{2} + {k}_{2}{k}_{3} + {k}_{3}{k}_{1}}{{k}_{1}{k}_{2}{k}_{3}}\right)}^{- 1}
Two identical parallel plate capacitors, of capacitance C each, have plates of area A, separated by a distance d . The
C1=3Aε0d(k1k2k3k1k2+k2k3+k3k1){C}_{1} = \dfrac{3A{ε}_{0}}{d}\left(\dfrac{{k}_{1}{k}_{2}{k}_{3}}{{k}_{1}{k}_{2} + {k}_{2}{k}_{3} + {k}_{3}{k}_{1}}\right)
{C}_{2} = \dfrac{{ε}_{0}\left(\dfrac{A}{3}\right){k}_{1}}{d} + \dfrac{{ε}_{0}\left(\dfrac{A}{3}\right){k}_{2}}{d} + \dfrac{{ε}_{0}\left(\dfrac{A}{3}\right){k}_{3}}{d}<br/><br />∴ \dfrac{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}} = \dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{9{k}_{1}{k}_{2}{k}_{3}}{\left({k}_{1} + {k}_{2} + {k}_{3}\right)\left({k}_{1}{k}_{2} + {k}_{2}{k}_{3} + {k}_{3}{k}_{1}\right)}
