Question: Q. 4. A slab of material of dielectric constant κ has the same area as that of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor but has the thickness d/2, where d is the separation between the plates. Find out the expression for its capacitance when the slab is inserted between the plates of the capacitor.

Solution:

Ans. Initially when there is vacuum between the two plates, the capacitance of the two parallel plates is,

C0=ε0Ad

where, A is the area of parallel plates.

Suppose that the capacitor is connected to a battery, an electric field E0 is produced.

Now if we insert the dielectric slab of thickness t=d/2, the electric field reduces to E.

Now the gap between the plates is divided in two parts, for distance t there is electric field E and for the remaining distance (dt), the electric field is E0. 1/2 If V be the potential difference between the plates of the capacitor, then

V=Et+E0(dt) V=Ed2+E0d2 =d2(E+E0) V=d2(E0κ+E0) =dE02κ(κ+1)

V=Ed2+E0d2(t=d2) =d2(E+E0)(E0E=κ) V=d2(E0κ+E0) =dE02κ(κ+1)  Now, E0=σε0=qε0A V=d2κqε0A(κ+1)

We know,

C=qV=2κε0Ad(κ+1)
