Parallel Plate Capacitor With Conducting Slab
Physics ninja looks at the problem of inserting a metal slab between the plates of a parallel capacitor. Dielectric placed between two electrodes on the two plates the microscopic dipole moment of the material will shield the charges. Given Two Parallel Conducting Plates Of Area A And Charge Phys 110a Hw 7 The Potential Difference Between 2 Plates Separated By A Introduction of a conducting slab will not increase the capacitance as you introduce a conductor that doesnt shorts the plates then the system will act like two capacitors in series and hence my capacitance will decrease. Parallel plate capacitor with conducting slab . The equivalent capacitance is evaluated. Apparently since the slab of non negligible thickness is introduced the effective distance d is reduced. The potential difference between the capacitor plates will be when a conducting slab of t...
