A parallel-plate capacitor of area , plate separation and capacitance is filled with four dielectric materials having dielectric constants, , and as shown in the figure below. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant is given by
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Here the capacitance, (C=\frac{A k \epsilon_0}{d})
are in parallel combination and they are connected in series with (\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{K}_4})
Here, (\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{K}_1}=\frac{(\mathrm{A} / 3) \mathrm{K}_1 \epsilon_0}{\mathrm{~d} / 2}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~K}_1}{3} \mathrm{C}),
(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{k}_2}=\frac{(\mathrm{A} / 3) \mathrm{k}_2 \mathrm{\epsilon}_0}{\mathrm{~d} / 2}=\frac{2 \mathrm{k}_2}{3} \mathrm{C})
(C_{K_3}=\frac{(\mathrm{A} / 3) \mathrm{k}_3 \epsilon_0}{\mathrm{~d} / 2} \frac{2 \mathrm{k}_3 \mathrm{C}}{3} \mathrm{C})
(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{K}_4}=\frac{(\mathrm{A}) \mathrm{k}_4 \epsilon_0}{\mathrm{~d} / 2}=2 \mathrm{k}_4 \mathrm{C})
Now the equivalent capacitance for the combination of four capacitors is
)
(\frac{1}{k C}=\frac{3}{2 C} or $(\frac{1}{k}=\frac{3}{2\left(k_1+k_2+k_3\right)}+\frac{1}{2\left(k_4\right)})
or (k=\frac{2\left(k_1+k_2+k_3\right)}{3}+2\left(k_4\right))
