Q1. A parallel plate capacitor is made of two dielectric blocks in
series. One of the blocks has thickness d1 and dielectric constant
K1 and the other has thickness d2 and dielectric constant K2 as
shown in figure. This arrangement can be thought as a dielectric
slab of thickness d (= d1 + d2) and effective dielectric constant K.
Then K is

𝑑1 +𝑑2 𝑘1 +𝑘2
𝑘2 𝑘1 +(𝑑1+𝑑2 ) 2𝑘1 𝑘2
(c) (d)
(𝑘1 𝑎,+𝑘2 𝑑2 ) 𝑘1+ 𝑘2

Q2. CASE BASED STUDY QUESTION


An arrangement of two conductors separated
by an insulating medium can be used to store
electric charge and electric energy. Such a
system is called a capacitor. The more charge
a capacitor can store, the greater is its
capacitance. Usually, a capacitor consists of
two conductors having equal and opposite
charge +Q and -Q. Hence, there is a potential difference V between them. By the capacitance
of a capacitor, we mean the ratio of the charge Q to the potential difference V. By the charge
on a capacitor we mean only the charge Q on the positive plate. Total charge of the capacitor
is zero. The capacitance of a capacitor is a constant and depends on geometric factors, such as
the shapes, sizes and relative positions of the two conductors, and the nature of the medium
between them. The unit of capacitance is farad (F), but the more convenient units are µF and
pF. A commonly used capacitor consists of two long strips or metal foils, separated by two
long strips of dielectrics, rolled up into a small cylinder. Common dielectric materials are
plastics (such as polyestors and polycarbonates) and aluminium oxide. Capacitors are widely
used in radio, television, computer, and other electric circuits.
