A parallel plate capacitor is made up of two plates, each having an area
of 8.0×10-4 m² and separated from each other by 5.0 mm. Half of the
space between the plates is filled with glass and the other with mica.
Find the capacitance of this capacitor.

Given: A = 8.0×10-4 m?
Eplass = 7×10-11 C²/N•m²
d = 5.00 mm = 0.005 m
Emica = 4.8×10-11 C?/N•m?
Solution:
The setup is considered as a parallel combination of two capacitors, each with
area = 4.0×10-4 m², one with mica as dielectric, and the other with glass.
