Question

You are given an air filled parallel plate capacitor C1. The space between its plates is now filled with slabs of dielectric constants K1 and K2 as shown in C2 . Find the capacitances of the capacitor C2 if area of the plates is A and distance between the plates is d.

Answer 1

Hello Chris, the new capacitor C₂ will have capacitance $\left[\frac{{\mathrm{K}}_1{\mathrm{K}}_2}{{\mathrm{K}}_1+{\mathrm{K}}_2}\right]\frac{{\mathrm{C}}_1}{2}$
