The discussion revolves around calculating the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor, specifically focusing on the area of the capacitors involved and how it relates to the overall capacitance. Participants are trying to clarify the dimensions and configuration of the capacitors in question.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing guidance on interpreting the capacitor arrangement and the areas involved. There is a focus on ensuring clarity regarding the original figure and the assumptions made about the areas of the capacitors.
There are constraints regarding the clarity of the original diagram and the definitions of the areas associated with the capacitors. Some participants express uncertainty about the area assignments and the configuration of the capacitors, which may affect the calculations.

Calculate the capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor shown in the following figure,between points X and Y.ehild said:
That's what it is.ehild said:
I think the transformed circuit diagram by you is correct. Both the capacitors are having area A. You'll have to calculate the equivalent capacitance of the composite capacitor (the one with dielectric constants k2 and k3).gracy said:
But there are 3 capacitors ,right?cnh1995 said:
I'll prefer to call the capacitor on the right as a single capacitor with veriable dielectric constant. There is no metal connection between the dielectrics k2 and k3. So, I don't think they can be a series combination.gracy said:
How in case of three capacitors the area of each capacitor will be A?cnh1995 said:
I believe it means that the area of each side of every metal plate of the equivalent three capacitors here is A.gracy said:
In the case of your equivalent set of three capacitors, each capacitor, C1, C2, and C3 has area A.gracy said:
