24.10 a parallel plate capacitor has plates with an area of 0.047 m2 . two slices of dielectric material are available for separating the plates. one slice has a thickness 0.0025 mm, a dielectric constant of 6.2, and a breakdown field strength of 7.15 x 106 v/m. the second slice has a thickness of .0085 mm, a dielectric constant of 10.7, and a breakdown field strength of 3.15 x 106 v/m. a) calculate the capacitance of each possible choice. which slice would produce a greater capacitance? b) what is the maximum working voltage for each capacitor? c) what is the capacitance if both slices of dielectric material are placed between the plates?

Respuesta :

1.55 x 10⁻⁶ F is the capacitance if both slices of dielectric material are placed between the plates.

What is dielectric constant?

An indicator of a substance or material's capacity to store electrical energy is its dielectric constant. It is a measurement of how much an object can hold or concentrate an electric flux. Dielectric constant is defined mathematically as the ratio of a material's permittivity to the permittivity of free space.

For one slice, we have

thickness, d₁ = 0.0025 x 10⁻³ m

dielectric constant, k₁ = 6.2

breakdown field strength, E₁ = 7.15 x 10⁶ V/m

For second slice, we have

thickness, d₂ = 0.0085 x 10⁻³ m

dielectric constant, k₂ = 10.7

breakdown field strength, E₂ = 3.15 x 10⁶ V/m

(a) The capacitance of each possible choice which is given as :

For one slice ; C₁ = k₁o A/d₁ = (6.2) (8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²) (0.047 m²) / (0.0025 x 10⁻³ m)

C₁ = 1031.5 x 10⁹ F

C₁ = 1.03 x 10⁻⁶ F

For second slice; C₂ = k₂0 A / d₂ = (10.7) (8.85 x 10-12 C²/Nm²) (0.047 m²) / (0.0085 x 10⁻³m)

C₂ = 523.6 x 10⁻⁹ F

C₂ = 5.23 x 10⁻⁷ F

{one slice will have a greater capacitance than second slice }

(b) The maximum working voltage for each capacitor is given as :

For one slice; E₁ = V₁ /d₁⇒ (7.15 x 10⁶ V/m) = V₁ / (0.0025 x 10⁻³ m)

V₁ = 17.8 V

For second slice; E₂ = V₂/d₂ (3.15 x 10⁶ V/m) = V₂ / (0.0085 x 10⁻³ m)

V₂ = 26.7 V

If both slices of dielectric material are placed b/w the plates, then the capacitance will be

given as:

Ctotal = C₁ + C₂ = [(1.03 x 10⁶ F) + (5.23 x 10⁻⁷ F)]

Ctotal = 1.55 x 10⁻⁷ F
