Five identical plates of equal area A are placed parallel to each other and at equal distance d from each other as shown in the figure. The effective capacity of the system between the terminals A and B is
Options
- A3 5 ε 0 A d
- B5 4 ε 0 A d
- C5 3 ε 0 A d
- D4 5 ε 0 A d
Correct answer
C. 5 3 ε 0 A d
Step-by-step solution
Plates 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 form a total of four capacitors. The capacity of each capacitor is, C 0 = ε 0 A d From figure, it is clear that, C e q = 5 3 C 0 = 5 3 ε 0 A d
