Three square metal plates A, B, and C, each 12.0 cm on a side and 1.50 mm thick, are arranged as in Fig. The plates are

separated by sheets of paper 0.45 mm thick and with a dielectric constant of 4.2. The outer plates are connected together and connected to point b. The inner plate is connected to point a.

(a) Copy the diagram and show by plus and minus signs the charge distribution on the plates when point ais maintained at a positive potential relative to point b.

(b) What is the capacitance between points aand b?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. See step 1
  2. The capacitance between points aand b is 2.4 nF.

Given:

We are given a Figure where point a is positive and point b is negative. The dielectric constant of paper is K = 4.2. And the separated distance between every two plates is d= 0.45 mm=0.00045 m

Step by step solution

01

Solving the part (a) of the problem.

The signs of the charge distribution on the plates are shown in the figure below where the plates A and C are connected to the negative point b while the plate B is connected to the positive point a

02

Solving part (b) of the problem.

We want to find the capacitance C between points a and b. The plates A and B are considered to be a capacitor and the plates B and C is another. Both these capacitors are connected in parallel as shown by the figure. So the total capacitance of the system will be given by

C=CAB+CBC (1)

Where the capacitance of two parallel plates with a dielectric material is given by an equation in the form

C=KoAd

So equation (1) will be in the form

C=KoAd+KoAdC=2KoAd (2)

Now we can plug our values for K, A, and d into equation (2) to get C where A = 12 cm x 12 cm

C=2碍蔚oAd=24.208.85410-12C2/N.m214410-4m20.00045m=2.4nF
