Q82 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (16 Mar Shift 2) · Physics

In a parallel plate capacitor set up, the plate area of capacitor is 2 m2 and the plates are separated by 1 m. If the space between the plates are filled with a dielectric material of thickness 0.5 m and are 2 m2 (see figure) the capacitance of the set-up will be ε0 ________.

(Dielectric constant of the material =3.2)

(Round off to the Nearest Integer)

Correct answer: 3

Solution

The given system can be considered as a series combination of two capacitors. The equivalent capacitance can be given as,

1C=1C1+1C2⇒1C=d2Kε0A+d2ε0A

⇒C=ε0Ad2K+d2=2ε0AdK+d

=2×2ε013.2+1=4×3.24.2ε0

=3.04ε0

Hence, the correct answer is 3.
