Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
- Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
- separation distance of capacitor 2,
- separation distance of capacitor 1,
- quantity of charge on capacitor 2,
- quantity of charge on capacitor 1,
We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.
Mathematically given as:
.....................................(1)
where:
k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air
From eq. (1)
For capacitor 2:
For capacitor 1:
We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:
..........................................(2)
where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.
for capacitor 2:
& for capacitor 1:
