Solution: Since in the boundary no charge exists (perfect insulator), the normal component of t

he electric flux density has to be equal in each dielectric. That is:

Accordingly:

Assuming a surface charge density of +𝜌𝑆 for the top plate, and −𝜌𝑆 for the bottom plate, the

3. What would be the capacitance of the structure in problem 2 if there were a third conductor w

How does the capacitance change if the spacing between the top and bottom plates are kept the

citance remains the same, that is to say, the electric fields terminate to the conductor, but are not

If the conductor thickness is greater than zero, but the total distance between the top and bottom

Solution: Similar to 2, the electric flux density is in z direction, and we assume a surface ch

al of 𝑉0 between the plates, unlike 2, as 𝐷 is tangent to the surface, in general 𝐷1 ≠

ne integral definition, at the boundary the tangent components of the electric field (which are i
