Can You Calculate Capacitance for Each Half of a Cylinder Capacitor Separately?

[en.yokhai]

hey

i have 2 cylinders one with r1 the second with r2. r2>r1, an cylinder capacitor.

in the space between them i put 2 dielectric materials, the first in a half of the cylinder, vertical,and the second on the other side vertical.

like: first- 0-180 deg
second- 180-360 deg

now i want to calculate the capacity , can i calculate each half by itself and then add?

and threat each half as it's own capacitor?, and then as summing in parallel ...

thanks

That is exactly what you should do. The two halves effectively act as capacitors in parallel.
