Electrostatics Question 607

Question: A parallel plate capacitor has capacitance C. If it is equally filled with parallel layers of materials of dielectric constants $ {K _{\text{1}}} $ and $ {K _{\text{2}}} $ its capacity becomes $ {C _{\text{1}}} $ . The ratio of $ {C _{\text{1}}} $ to C is [MP PMT 2001]

Options:

A) $ K _{1}+K _{2} $

B) $ \frac{K _{1}K _{2}}{K _{1}-K _{2}} $

C) $ \frac{K _{1}+K _{2}}{K _{1}K _{2}} $

D) $ \frac{2K _{1}K _{2}}{K _{1}+K _{2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ C _{A}=\frac{K _{1}{\varepsilon _{0}}A}{d/2},C _{B}=\frac{K _{2}{\varepsilon _{0}}A}{d/2} $

$ C _{eq}=\frac{C _{1}}{C _{2}}=\frac{2K _{1}K _{2}}{K _{1}+K _{2}} $

$ =\frac{C _{A}C _{B}}{C _{A}+C _{B}}=( \frac{2K _{1}K _{2}}{K _{1}+K _{2}} )\frac{{\varepsilon _{0}}A}{d} $

$ ( \because c=\frac{{\varepsilon _{0}}A}{d} ) $
