The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a 'dielectric' whose 'dielectric constant' varies with distance as per the relation:

$K(x) = K_0 + \lambda x$ ( $\lambda  =$ constant)

The capacitance $C,$ of the capacitor, would be related to its vacuum capacitance $C_0$ for the relation

    $C\, = \,\frac{{\lambda d}}{{\ln \,(1 + {K_0}\lambda d)}}{C_0}$

  • B

    $C\, = \,\frac{{\lambda }}{{d.\ln \,(1 + {K_0}\lambda d)}}{C_0}$

An uncharged parallel plate capacitor having a dielectric of constant $K$ is connected to a similar air cored parallel capacitor charged to a potential $V$. The two capacitors share charges and the common potential is $V$. The dielectric constant $K$ is

. Three identical capacitors $C _1, C _2$ and $C _3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu F$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $C _1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_{ r }$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0=8 V$. First the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged, $S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium, the charge on $C _3$ is found to be $5 \mu C$.
