Question: Q. 2. A parallel plate capacitor is made of two dielectric blocks in series. One of the blocks has thickness
(a)
[NCERT Exemplar]
Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. Correct option : (c)
Explanation: Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor filled with dielectric of constant
Similarly, for other capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor filled with dielectric of constant
Both capacitors are in series so equivalent capacitance
(2) $C_{1}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}=\frac{d_{1}}{k_{1} \varepsilon_{0} A}+\frac{d_{2}}{\mathrm{k}{2} \varepsilon{0} A}$
So,
where,
So, multiply the numerator and denominator of eqn. (i) with
Comparing eqns. (ii) and (iii), the dielectric constant of new capacitor is :
