Just had a brain wave: is it possible to treat both dielectrics as a single material by averaging their respective permittivities divided by their proportion of the gap?
So
\epsilon_{T}=\epsilon_{r1}*1/3 + \epsilon_{r2}*2/3 = (\epsilon_{r1} +2\epsilon_{r2})/3
Therefore:
E =...
Homework Statement
Use Gauss' law to find an expression for the electric field within a charged parallel plate capacitor with two layers of dielectric materials (?r1 and ?r2).
(See attached image, this is for question 2a).
