उत्तर

\[\text { Capacitance of a capacitor without dielectric is given by }: \]

\[ C_o = \frac{\epsilon_o A}{d} . . . . . (i)\]

\[\text { Capacitance of capacitor when its plates are partly filled with dielectric of thickness t and of same area as the plates is given by }: \]

\[C = \frac{\epsilon_o A}{d - t (1 - \frac{1}{K})}\]

\[\text { Here} , t = \frac{3d}{4}\]

\[C = \frac{\epsilon_o A}{d - \frac{3d}{4}(1 - \frac{1}{K})} = \frac{\epsilon_o A}{\frac{dK + 3d}{4K}} = \frac{\epsilon_o A(4K)}{dK + 3d}\]

\[ = \frac{\epsilon_o A(4K)}{d(K + 3)} = \frac{4K}{(K + 3)} \times \frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}\]

\[\text { Therefore, the ratio of the capacitance with dielectric inside it to its capacitance without the dielectric is }\]

\[\frac{C_o}{C} = \frac{\frac{4K}{(K + 3)} \times \frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}}{\frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}} = \frac{4K}{(K + 3)}\]

Explain briefly the process of charging a parallel plate capacitor when it is connected across a d.c. battery


In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, each plate has an area of 6 × 10−3 m2 and the distance between the plates is 3 mm. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor. If this capacitor is connected to a 100 V supply, what is the charge on each plate of the capacitor?


What is the area of the plates of a 2 F parallel plate capacitor, given that the separation between the plates is 0.5 cm? [You will realize from your answer why ordinary capacitors are in the range of µF or less. However, electrolytic capacitors do have a much larger capacitance (0.1 F) because of very minute separation between the conductors.]


A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 107 Vm−1. (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?


Define the capacitance of a capacitor. Obtain the expression for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor in vacuum in terms of plate area A and separation d between the plates.
