Yes it is mentioned that A=areaNascentOxygen said:
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:
A capacitor with dielectric is an electronic component that stores electrical energy by accumulating opposite charges on two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric.
The dielectric in a capacitor plays a crucial role in increasing the capacitance and reducing the electric field between the plates. It acts as an insulator, preventing the charges on the plates from coming into direct contact and losing their stored energy.
A capacitor with dielectric has a higher capacitance compared to a capacitor without dielectric. The dielectric material increases the distance between the plates, allowing more charge to be stored. It also lowers the electric field between the plates, which makes the capacitor more stable and less prone to breakdown.
Some common dielectric materials used in capacitors include air, paper, ceramic, plastic, and electrolytic materials. The choice of dielectric material depends on the desired capacitance, voltage rating, and other factors such as cost and size constraints.
The dielectric constant of a material can change with temperature, which can affect the capacitance of a capacitor with dielectric. In some cases, the dielectric material can also degrade at high temperatures, reducing the overall performance and lifespan of the capacitor.
