Could someone please help me with this question:
A parallel plate capacitor has a surface area of 1 cm2 and its plates are
separated by 3 mm. In between the plates are three layers of dielectric,
each 1 mm thick, with relative permittivities of 3, 5 and 11 respectively. What
is the capacitance of the whole capacitor?
I know I use the formula c=eoerA/d.
Do I add the dielectrics together so er=19? and just apply the formula as usual?
