Question

Shown in the figure below is a capacitor. Each plate has an area of A = 3.94e-02 m2 and has a gap d = 5.1e-04 meters. At the first moment, the capacitor is empty. At the second moment is it partly filled with a dielectric of constant K = 2.64. The thickness of the dielectric layer is a = 2.04e-04 meters leaving a free space of b = 3.06e-04 meters.



Write the FORMULA for the capacitance of the empty capacitor. 

 
 
 




Determine the capacitance of the empty capacitor Cempty =  Farads

When you partly fill the capacitor, which of these best describes the new configuration:

Neither series nor parallelSeries    ParallelBoth series and parallel




Determine the formula for the partly filled capacitor Cfilled = 

 
 
 




Determine the value of the partly filled capacitor Cfilled =  Farads
