The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a 'dielectric' whose 'dielectric constant' varies with distance as per the relation: K(x)=Ko+λx(λ=a constant )\mathrm{K}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{o}}+\lambda \mathrm{x}(\lambda=\mathrm{a} \text{ constant })The capacitance C\mathrm{C}, of the capacitor, would be related to its vacuum capacitance Co\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{o}} for the relation :

Options

  1. AC=λdln⁡(1+KoλdCo)\left.\mathrm{C}=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\ln \left(1+\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{o}} \lambda \mathrm{d}\right.} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)
  2. BC=λd⋅ln⁡(1+KoλdCo)\left.\mathrm{C}=\frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{d} \cdot \ln \left(1+\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{o}} \lambda \mathrm{d}\right.} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)
  3. CC=λdln⁡(1+λd/KoCo)\left.\mathrm{C}=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\ln \left(1+\lambda \mathrm{d} / \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{o}}\right.} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)
  4. DC=λd.ln⁡(1+Ko/λdCo)\left.\mathrm{C}=\frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{d} . \ln \left(1+\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{o}} / \lambda \mathrm{d}\right.} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)

Correct answer

C. C=λdln⁡(1+λd/KoCo)\left.\mathrm{C}=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\ln \left(1+\lambda \mathrm{d} / \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{o}}\right.} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)

Step-by-step solution

The value of dielectric constant is given as, \begin{aligned} &\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{K}_0+\lambda \mathrm{x} \\ &\text{ And, } \mathrm{V}=\int_0^{\mathrm{d}} \mathrm{Edr} \\ &\mathrm{V}=\int_0^{\mathrm{d}} \frac{\sigma}{\mathrm{K}} \mathrm{dx} \end{aligned}\begin{aligned} &=\sigma \int_0^{\mathrm{d}} \frac{1}{\left(\mathrm{~K}_0+\lambda \mathrm{x}\right.} \mathrm{dx} \\ &=\frac{\sigma}{\lambda}\left[\ln \left(\mathrm{K}_0+\lambda \mathrm{d}-\ln \mathrm{K}_0\right]\right. \\ &=\frac{\sigma}{\lambda} \ln \left(1+\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{K}_0}\right) \end{aligned} Now it is given that capacitance of vacuum =C0=\mathrm{C}_0. Thus, C=QV\mathrm{C}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{V}} \begin{aligned} &=\frac{\sigma . \mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{v}}(\text{ Let surface area of plates }=\mathrm{s}) \\ &=\frac{\sigma . \mathrm{s}}{\frac{\sigma}{\lambda} \ln \left(1+\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{K}_0}\right)} \end{aligned} =sλ⋅dd1ln⁡(1+λdK0)(∵=\mathrm{s} \lambda \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}} \frac{1}{\ln \left(1+\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{K}_0}\right)}\left(\because\right. in vacuum ε0=1)\left.\varepsilon_0=1\right)\mathrm{c}=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\ln \left(1+\frac{\lambda \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{K}_0}\right)} \cdot \mathrm{C}_0 \quad\left(\right.here,C0=sd)here, \left.\mathrm{C}_0=\frac{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{d}}\right)
