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 $\varepsilon_1$ at one plate to $\varepsilon_2$ at the other. The capacitance of the capacitor is

  • A
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_1 + \varepsilon_2)A/d$
  • B
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_2 + \varepsilon_1)A/2d$
  • C
    $\varepsilon_0 A / [d \ln(\varepsilon_2/\varepsilon_1)]$
  • D
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_2 - \varepsilon_1)A / [d \ln(\varepsilon_2/\varepsilon_1)]$

In a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now,a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $K = 2$ is introduced between the plates,due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity back to the original value,the separation between the plates must be increased to......$mm$. (in $.5$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has capacitance $C$, when there is vacuum within the parallel plates. $A$ sheet having thickness $t = d/3$ (where $d$ is the separation between the plates) and relative permittivity $K$ is introduced between the plates. The new capacitance of the system is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance $C$ and the distance between the plates is $d$. If the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ as shown in the figure,find the new capacitance of the capacitor.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air as the dielectric has capacitance $C$. $A$ slab of dielectric constant $K$ and having the same thickness as the separation between the plates is introduced so as to fill one-fourth of the capacitor as shown in the figure. The new capacitance will be
