**Parallel Plate Capacitor Analysis**A parallel plate capacitor has plates of area \( A = 8.00 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m}^2 \) separated by a distance \( d = 2.22 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \).

Hint: One of the configurations is a parallel combination, while the other is a series combination.** - **Figure (a):** - The plates are divided horizontally, having both air and a dielectric on one plate. - **Figure (b):** - The plates are divided vertically, having air on one side and a dielectric on the other. \[ \text{Figure (a):} \quad \_\_\_\_ \, \text{F} \] \[ \text{Figure (b):} \quad \_\_\_\_ \, \text{F} \]**Diagram Explanation:**- **Figure (a)** displays a capacitor with a half-region filled with air and the other half filled with a dielectric material (constant \( \kappa = 3.10 \)). This scenario is expected to be treated as a parallel combination of capacitors given the configuration of layers.- **Figure (b)** shows a capacitor where one half of the plates are in contact with air, while the other half with a dielectric, implying a series combination of the two segments along the line of separation of the materials.This setup demonstrates the different approaches to solving composite dielectric arrangements in capacitor systems.
