Question

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 9.00 cm on each side and 4.10 mm apart. The space between the plates is completely filled with two square slabs of dielectric, each 9.00 cm on a side and 2.05 mm thick. One slab is pyrex glass and the other is polystyrene. If the potential difference between the plates is 82.0 V, how much electrical energy is stored in the capacitor?

Step 1

Given: Side length of each square plate (a) = 9.00 cm = 0.09 m Distance between plates (d) = 4.10 mm = 0.0041 m Thickness of dielectric slabs (t) = 2.05 mm = 0.00205 m Dielectric constant of Pyrex glass (k1) = 4.6 Dielectric constant of polystyrene (k2) = Show more…
