Question

The gap between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of area A and distance between plates d, is filled with a dielectric whose permittivity varies linearly from ϵ1 at one plate to ϵ2 at the other. The capacitance of capacitor is :

Solution

The correct option is D ϵ0(ϵ2ϵ1)A/[dln(ϵ2/ϵ1)]
Answer is D.
All the capacitances are connected in series.
We know that, Capacitance is given by
C=KϵAd
Equivalent capacitance is
1C=ϵ1/ϵ0ϵ2/ϵoKϵAddx
C=ϵo(ϵ2ϵ1)Adln(ϵ2ϵ1)
