A parallel plate capacitor with plate area 'A' and distance of separation 'd' is filled with a dielectric. What is the capacity of the capacitor when permittivity of the dielectric varies as
ε(x) = ε? + kx, for 0 < x ≤ d/2
ε(x) = ε? + k(d-x), for d/2 ≤ x ≤ d
A parallel plate capacitor with plate area 'A' and distance of separation 'd' is filled with a dielectric. What is the capacity of the capacitor when permittivity of the dielectric varies as
ε(x) = ε? + kx, for 0 < x ≤ d/2
ε(x) = ε? + k(d-x), for d/2 ≤ x ≤ d
dC? = (ε? + kx)A / dx [For 0 < x < d/2]
1/C? = ∫ dx / (ε? + kx)A) from 0 to d/2
= (1/Ak) [ln (ε? + kx)] from 0 to d/2
= (1/kA) ln (1 + kd/ (2ε? )
C? = kA / ln (1 + kd/ (2ε? )
Similarly dC? = (ε? + k (d-x)A / dx [For d/2 ≤ x ≤ d]
C? = kA / ln (1 + kd/ (2ε? )
Clearly, C? = C? = C
For series combination:
C_eq = C? / (C?

Now, using junction analysis
We can say, q? + q? + q? = 0
2 (x - 6) + 4 (x - 6) + 5 (x) = 0
x = 36/11, q? = 36 (5)/11 = 180/11
q? = 16.36µC
