    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{t_1}{K_1} + \frac{t_2}{K_2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{K_1}{t_1} + \frac{K_2}{t_2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{t_1}{K_2} + \frac{t_2}{K_1}}$
  • D

Consider a parallel plate capacitor with plates in the shape of a square in the $XY$-plane. The gap between the plates is filled with a dielectric material. The dielectric constant $k$ varies along the $X$-axis as $k(x) = \left[1 + \left(\frac{x}{L}\right)^\alpha\right]$,where $\alpha$ is a constant. Let $C_d$ and $C_a$ be the capacitance in the presence of the dielectric and air,respectively. If the ratio $\frac{C_d}{C_a} = \frac{7}{6}$,then the value of $\alpha$ must be

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a mica sheet of thickness $1 \times 10^{-3} \,m$ and a fiber sheet of thickness $0.5 \times 10^{-3} \,m$. The dielectric constants of mica and fiber are $8$ and $2.5$ respectively. If the fiber breaks down at an electric field of $6.4 \times 10^6 \,V/m$, then the maximum voltage that can be applied to the capacitor is: (in $\,V$)
