Social ScienceThe figure shows a parallel-plate capacitor with a plate area A = 2.52 cm2 and plate separation d = 7.95 mm. The bottom half of the gap is filled with material of dielectric constant κ1 = 13.7; the top half is filled with material of dielectric constant κ2 = 12.2. What is the capacitance?

Expert Answer
When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors’ individual capacitance. In this case, the upper and the lower capacitors are arranged in series so that equivalent capacitance is given by equation (4).
