Four metallic plates, each with a surface area of one side $A$, are placed at a distance $d$ from each other. The plates are connected as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the system between $a$ and $b$ is

A
$\frac{{3{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}$
B
$\frac{{2{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}$
C
$\frac{2}{3}\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}$
D
$\frac{3}{2}\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}$
Solution

The equivalent arrangement is shown in figure. Capacitance between $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ is given by :
$\frac{1}{C_{A B}}=\frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{2}{C}$
or $\quad \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}$
$\therefore \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{ab}}=\mathrm{C}+\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}=\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{C}$
$ = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{{{ \in _0}A}}{d}$
