The capacitor in the figure has square plates with b meters on each side. Neglect fringing in the system. A square conducting slab is allowed to move between the two plates. The square surface of the slab also has b meters on each side. In addition, the slab has a height of h meters, and a negligible resistance. Capacitance in Coulombs is given by the following equation in all possible states of the capacitor.

A switch allows a 375V voltage source to be connected to and disconnected from the capacitor. With the initial gap width, the capacitance is 821.3pF.

Make sure to appropriately account for what is in parallel and what is in series as you do; the most straightforward way to do this traditionally is to set up smaller effective capacitors one segment at a time until you have reduced the entire capacitor network to a single effective capacitor, then calculate the time constant.arrow_forward
