Q.

A parallel plate capacitor has plate of length l , width  w and separation of plate is  d. It is connected to a battery of emf  V. A dielectric slab of the same thickness  d and of dielectric constant  k=4 is being inserted between the plates of the capacitor. At what length of the slab inside plates, will the energy stored in the capacitor be two times the initial energy stored?

Let x be the required length of the slab

Question Image

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by

C=ε0Ad

Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor before inserting the dielectric slab,
Cinitial =εoAdCinitial =εolwd
Now, capacitance of parallel plate capacitor after inserting the dielectric slab
Cfinal =C1+C2=kε0A1d+kεoA2d=kεowxd+εow(lx)d

=εowd[kx+(lx)]=ω0wd[l+(k1)x]

According to question,
Energy stored in capacitor = 2 (initial energy stored)
 12Cfinal V2=212Cinitial V2 Cfinal =2Cinitial  εowd[l+(41)x]=2ε0wld εowd[l+3x]=2εowid l+3x=2l 3x=l x=l3
