The equivalent capacitance between 'P' and 'Q' is [A-area of each plate, d-separation between the plates, -permittivity of free space]


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The given arrangement is equivalent to three capacitors connected in parallel between the terminals P and Q, as the potential difference across each section is the same.
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric is given by .
For the three sections, the area is and the distance between the plates is .
The individual capacitances are:
Since the capacitors are in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances:
