Question 352: Electrostatics & Capacitance

Question

A parallel plate capacitor is of area 6 cm
2
and a separation 3 mm. The gap is filled with three dielectric
materials of equal thickness (see figure) with dielectric constants K
1
= 10, K
2
= 12 and K
3
= 14. The dielectric constant of a material which when fully inserted in above capacitor, gives same capacitance would be -

Accepted Answer

Let dielectric constant of material used be K.
$$ 	herefore $$  $${{10{ \in _0}\,A/3} \over d} + {{12{ \in _0}\,A/3} \over d} + {{14{ \in _0}\,A/3} \over d} = {{K{ \in _0}A} \over d}$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$    K $$=$$ 12
