JEE Advance - Physics (2019 - Paper 1 Offline - No. 13)

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C has spacing d between two plates having area A. The region between the plates is filled with N dielectric layers, parallel to its plates, each with thickness, $$\delta = {d \over N}$$. The dielectric constant of the mth layer is $${K_m} = K\left( {1 + {m \over N}} \right)$$. For a very large N(>103), the capacitance C is $$\alpha \left( {{{K{\varepsilon _0}A} \over {d\ln 2}}} \right)$$

The value of $$\alpha $$ will be ..................

Explanation

Parallel plate capacitor,

$${x \over m} = {d \over N}$$

$$d\left( {{1 \over C}} \right) = {{dx} \over {{K_m}{\varepsilon _0}A}} = {{dx} \over {K{\varepsilon _0}A\left( {1 + {m \over N}} \right)}} = {{dx} \over {K{\varepsilon _0}A\left( {1 + {x \over d}} \right)}}$$

Integration on both sides, we get

$${1 \over {{C_{eq}}}} = \int {d\left( {{1 \over C}} \right) = \int_0^D {{{d\,dx} \over {K{\varepsilon _0}A(d + x)}}} } $$

$${1 \over {{C_{eq}}}} = \int {{d \over {K{\varepsilon _0}A}}\ln 2} \Rightarrow {C_{eq}} = {{K{\varepsilon _0}A} \over {d\,\ln 2}}$$

Therefore, $$\alpha $$ = 1.
