Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

A parallel plate capacitor is having separation between plates 0.885 mm. It has a capacitance of 1 μF when the space between the plates is filled with an insulating material of resistivity 1 1013 Ωm and resistance 17.7 1014 Ω. Relative permittivity of the insulating material is 107. The value of is . (Take permittivity of free space =8.85 10-12 F/m)

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C (without any dielectric) is now filled with three dielectric slabs of dielectric constants K1 = 2, K2 = 3 and K3 = 5 (as shown in figure). If new capacitance is n3C then the value of n is . [figure]

[figure] Space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate area 4 cm2 and separation of 1.77 mm, is filled with uniform dielectric materials with dielectric constants (3 and 5) as shown in figure. Another capacitor of capacitance 7.5 pF is connected in parallel with it. The effective capacitance of this combination is pF. (Given 0 = 8.85 10-12 F/m)
