(27.40) A parallel plate capacitor of plate area A and separation distance d contains a slab of dielectric of thickness d/2 (see Figure 27.8) and dielectric constant [kappa]. The potential difference between the plates is [Delta]V.
Why can we consider a capacitor with mixed dielectrics equivalent to two series or parallel capacitors? When a parallel-plate capacitor has two different dielectrics as shown below, it can be considered equivalent to two capacitors in series, one taking the value of one of the dielectrics and the other of the other dielectric.
Now we have three capacitors connected in parallel. The equivalent capacitance is given by 1 2 each fill half the space between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor as shown in Figure 5.10.3. Figure 5.10.3 Capacitor filled with two different dielectrics.
A parallel plate capacitor of plate area A and separation distance d contains a slab of dielectric of thickness d/2 (see Figure 27.8) and dielectric constant [kappa]. The potential difference between the plates is [Delta]V. a) In terms of the given quantities, find the electric field in the empty region of space between the plates.
The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by C=ε/Ad, where ε=Kε 0 for a dielectric-filled capacitor. Adding a dielectric increases the capacitance by a factor of K, the dielectric constant. The energy density (electric potential energy per unit volume) of the electric field between the plates is:
Let us first suppose that two media are in series (Figure V. V. 16). Our capacitor has two dielectrics in series, the first one of thickness d1 d 1 and permittivity ϵ1 ϵ 1 and the second one of thickness d2 d 2 and permittivity ϵ2 ϵ 2. As always, the thicknesses of the dielectrics are supposed to be small so that the fields within them are uniform.
