Question

please help me find the answer​

Answer 1

Hey mate...

The total area of the flat plate is A. The width of each stair is the same. Therefore, the area of the surface of each stair facing the flat plate is the same, that is, A3.

From the figure, it can be observed that the capacitor assembly is made up of three capacitors. The three capacitors are connected in parallel.

For capacitor C1, the area of the plates is A3 and the separation between the plates is d.

For capacitor C2, the area of the plates is A3 and the separation between the plates is (d + b).

For capacitor C3, the area of the plates is A3 and the separation between the plates is (d + 2b).

Therefore,

C1=∈0 A3d C2=∈0 A3d+bC3=∈0 A3d+2b

As the three capacitors are in parallel combination,

C=C1+C2+C3⇒C=∈0 A3d+∈0 A3d+b+∈0 A3d+2b⇒C=∈0 A33d2+6bd+2b2dd+bd+2b

Hope this helps you.....
