Question 3

(3.1) A capacitor is made up of two dielectric materials A and B of relative permittivity of 2.5 and 4,
and thickness 1 mm and 3 mm respectively connected in series.


3.1.1) If the cross-section of each dielectric is 500 mm2 determine the total capacitance.

3.1. 2) If a potential difference of 200 V is applied across the composite dielectric, determine the voltage
across each dielectric. (Ɛ0= 8.854x10-12 F/m).

3.1.3) Determine the energy stored in the capacitor.
