A parallel plate capacitor having plates of area S and plate separation d , has capacitance C1 in air. When two dielectrics of different relative permittivities ( ε1=2 and ε2=4 ) are introduced between the two plates as shown in the figure, the capacitance becomes C2 . The ratio C2C1 is
In new setup we have 3 different setups
i. 52,d2, ϵ1
C′=52ϵ1ϵ0d2=2C1
ii. 52,d2, ϵ2
C′′=52ϵ2ϵ0d2=4C1
iii. 52, d, ϵ1
C′′′=52ϵ1ϵ0d=C1

C2=(12C1+14C1)-1+C1=146C1=73C1
∴C2C1=73
