Question

Two identical sized capacitors C1 and C2 are connected with a battery as shown in figure. Capacitor plates are square plates. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant K=2, are filled in half the region of the two capacitors are shown:
C capacity, q charge stored, U energy stored.
Match the following two columns

Solution

Capacitance of air filled parallel plate capacitor is C0=Aϵ0d where A= area of plate and d= separation between plates.
Here C1 contains two capacitor of area A/2 and separation d. They are in parallel.
Thus, C1=(A/2)Kϵ0d+(A/2)ϵ0d=(A/2)2ϵ0d+(A/2)ϵ0d=C0+C0/2=32C0
As C2 is filled half by dielectric slab so C2=Aϵ0dd/2+d/2K=Aϵ0d/2+d/22=43Aϵ0d=43C0
C1C2=(3/2)C0(4/3)C0=98 thus A3
As C1 and C2 are in series so charges on both are same.
q1q2=1 thus B1
Energy U=q22C, As q is same for both so U1C
U1U2=C2C1=89
Thus C2
