Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Capacitance MCQ (Single Correct)

A capacitor is composed of three parallel conducting plates. All three plates are of the same area A. The first pair of plates are kept a distance d 1 apart, and the space between them is filled with a medium of a dielectric K 1 . The corresponding data for the second pair are d 2 and K 2 , respectively.

The middle plate is connected to the positive terminal of a constant voltage source V and the external plates are connected the other terminal of V.

A
Find the capacitance of the system.
B
What is the surface charge density on the middle plate?
C
Compute the energy density in the medium K 1 .
