Equivalent Permittivity of Series Dielectrics
< Prev
Next >

A parallel plate capacitor with plate area A and separation d is filled with three different dielectric materials of equal thickness d/3 and permittivities ε₁, ε₂, and ε₃. What is the equivalent permittivity of this arrangement?

A

εₑq = ε₁ε₂ε₃/(ε₁ε₂ + ε₂ε₃ + ε₁ε₃)

B

εₑq = 3/(1/ε₁ + 1/ε₂ + 1/ε₃)

C

εₑq = (ε₁ + ε₂ + ε₃)/3

D

εₑq = √(ε₁ε₂ε₃)
