उत्तर
Initially when there is vacuum between the two plates, the capacitance of the two parallel plates is, ,`C_0 = (epsi_0A)/d` where, A is the area of parallel plates.
Suppose that the capacitor is connected to a battery, an electric field E0 is produced.
Now if we insert the dielectric slab of thickness `t = (2d)/3`the electric field reduces to E.
Now the gap between plates is divided in two parts, for distance t there is electric field E and for the remaining distance (d–t) the electric field is E0.
If V be the potential difference between the plates of the capacitor, then V=Et + E0(d–t)
`V = (2Ed)/3 +E_0 (d-(2d)/3) = (2Ed)/3 +(E_0d)/3 = d/3 (2E + E_0) (because t = d/2)`
`or , V = d/3 ((2E_0)/K + E_0) = (dE_0)/(3K) (K+2) (As,E_0/E = K)`
`Now , E_0 = σ/epsi_0 = q/(epsi_0A) => V = d/(3K) q/(epsi_0A) (K+2)`
`therefore C = q/V = (3K_(epsi_0 A))/(d(K+2))`.

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?
