Dielectric change

An air capacitor with straight plates has a capacitance C0 = 10 pF and a plate distance d = 1 cm. We place a sheet of thickness ∆= 1 mm in the middle between the plates. What will be the capacitance of the entire device? (Marginal effects can be neglected).

Final Answer:

C2 =  11.1111 pF

Step-by-step explanation:

C0=10 pF d=1 cm mm=1 10  mm=10 mm Δ=1 mm  C0 = ε   dS C2 = ε   dΔS  ε S = C0 d C2 = dΔC0 d  C2=C0 dΔd=10 10110=11.1111 pF
