JEE Advanced · Physics · 18. Capacitance

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C has spacing d between two plates having area A. The region between the plates is filled with N dielectric layers, parallel to its plates, each with thickness δ=dN. The dielectric constant of the mth layer is Km=K1+mN. For a very large N>103, the capacitance C is αK0Adln2. The value of α will be____
[0 is the permittivity of free space]

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation



Let mth layer is at a distance x from left plate.

Also, let there be a small strip of thickness 'dx' having small capacitance d1C with medium Km in between.

xm=DN

Also, \(d\left(\frac{1}{C}\right)=\frac{d x}{K_m \varepsilon_0 A}=\frac{d x}{K_m \varepsilon_0 A}=\frac{d x}{K \varepsilon_0 A\left(1+\frac{m}{N}\right)}\) \(=\frac{d x}{K \varepsilon_0 A\left(1+\frac{x}{D}\right)}\)

1Ceq=d1C=0DDdxKε0AD+x

1Ceq=DKε0Aln2

Ceq=Kε0ADln2 Therefore α=1
