KCET2016PhysicsCapacitance
Four metal plates are arranged as shown. Capacitance between ( X ) and ( Y ) (A ( ) Area of each plate, ( d ) distance between the plates)
Options
- A( 3 2 ₀ A d )
- B( 2 ₀ ~A d )
- C( 2 3 ₀ A d )
- D( 3 ₀ ~A d )
Correct answer
C. ( 2 3 ₀ A d )
Step-by-step solution
Area of each plate = A There are ( 3 ) plates between ( X ) and ( Y ) and each will have a contribution of ( C 3 ) Therefore, capacitance between ( X ) and ( Y =2 C 3 = 2 3 ₀ A d )
