Question

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is completely filled in two ways. In the first case, it is filled with a slab of dielectric constant K. In the second case, it is filled with two slabs of equal thickness and dielectric constants K₁ and K₂ respectively as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the capacitor is same in the two cases. Obtain the relationship between K, K₁ and K₂.

Answer

$\text{C}_1=\frac{\text{K}\varepsilon_0\text{A}}{\text{d}}$

C₂= parallel combination of two capacitors,

$=\frac{\text{K}_1\varepsilon_0\big(\frac{\text{A}}{2}\big)}{\text{d}}+\frac{\text{K}_2\varepsilon_0\big(\frac{\text{A}}{2}\big)}{\text{d}}$

$\frac{\varepsilon_0\text{A}}{2\text{d}}\big(\text{K}_1+\text{K}_2\big)$

$\because\text{C}_1=\text{C}_2$

$\Rightarrow\text{K}=\frac{\text{K}_1+\text{K}_2}{2}$
