Question

Five thin rectangular conducting plates, each of constant breadth 1 m, are
arranged parallel to each other as shown in the figure. Any two consecutive
plates are separated by a distance d = 1mm. The plates are arranged in
increasing order of height. The height of a plate is, h = 5.12 m (as shown in
the figure) and the height of each successive plate decreases by 5%. Then
find the equivalent capacitance of the system between the first and the last
plate assuming that air is present in between the plates. Neglect any edge
effects and calculate the capacitance taking only the overlapping areas
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Any two consecutive plates are separated by a distance d = 1mm. The plates are arranged in increasing order of height.
