Question

Three conducting plates, each of area A, are connected as shown.

(a) Are the two capacitos formed connected in series or in parallel?
(b) Determine capacitance C as a function of d1, d2, and A. Assume d1 + d2 is much less than the dimensions of the plates.

Answer 1

parallel, it's equivalent to:

Answer 2

What about part (B)??

Answer 3

C in terms of A and d, for a parallel plate capacitor... what is it?

Answer 4

(epsilon zero*A)/(d1+d2)
