1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

2. Relevant equations

3. The attempt at a solution
I couldnt find the V(x).I dont know ho to write the equation.I think that it will be constant cause potential betwwen two plates should be constant... ?

What is the energy in the capacitor as a function of x?
In other words, what is the capacitance as a function of x?
How is force related to this energy?

$C_{eq}=(K+1)ε_0 \frac {xb} {d}$ ? or maybe
$C=Kε_0 \frac {xb} {d}$

I don't know the exact expression as I myself haven't worked it out yet, but check the answer at x=0. Is the capacitance zero at x=0?

### Arman777

Yeah its

### cnh1995

No, it isn't.
What is the capacitance for x=0?

### Arman777

Theres no area when x=0

### cnh1995

How is this possible? Which area is considered for calculation of capacitance?

### Arman777

You are taking a-x I am just x

But that doesn't make the total capacitance zero. You need to draw the equivalent circuit and find the total capacitance as a function of x.

What is the dielectric between the plates before the new dielectric (with constant k) is inserted?
What is the capacitance when the new dielectric is not inserted at all?
