Homework Statement



€o k l d

Homework Equations



Ceq=(€ol^2/2)


What are you trying to do?

A wedge shaped dielectric?

Are you trying to calculate the equivalent ε ?

If so what would be your approach?
 
I'm trying to find C equal
capacitance

trying to find C equal 's equation by there will be K
 
So your dielectric has 2 regions? Divided diagonally? One with Kεo, the other with just εo?

Well ...

1/Ceq = 1/Co + 1/ Ck

Looks like you will need to set up an integral and evaluate based on the changing distance of each dielectric region.
