JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
A parallel palate capacitor with square plates is filled with four dielectrics of dielectric constants \(K_1, K_2, K_3, K_4\) arranged as shown in the figure. The effective dielectric constant \(K\) will be

- A \(K = \frac{{({K_1} + {K_3})({K_2} + {K_4})}}{{{K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4}}}\)
- B \(K = \frac{{({K_1} + {K_2})({K_3} + {K_4})}}{{2({K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4})}}\)
- C \(K = \frac{{({K_1} + {K_2})({K_3} + {K_4})}}{{{K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4}}}\)
- D \(K = \frac{{({K_1} + {K_4})({K_2} + {K_3})}}{{2({K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4})}}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(K = \frac{{({K_1} + {K_3})({K_2} + {K_4})}}{{{K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4}}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(C_{1}=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} K_{1} \frac{L^{2}}{2}}{\frac{d}{2}}+\frac{\varepsilon_{0} K_{3} \frac{L^{2}}{2}}{\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)}=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} L^{2}}{d}\left(K_{1}+K_{3}\right)\)…
