Question

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed by filling the space between two square plates with a block of three dielectric materials, as shown in the figure below. You may assume that ℓ ≫ d.

 
(a) Find an expression for the capacitance of the device in terms of the plate area A and d, ?1, ?2, and ?3. (Use the following as necessary: ?1, ?2, ?3, ?0A and d.)
C =

(b) Calculate the capacitance using the values A = 1.30 cm2d = 2.00 mm, ?1 = 4.90, ?2 = 5.60, and ?3 = 2.50.
