Capacitive Displacement Sensor Capacitance Calculation

This document describes a variable dielectric capacitive displacement sensor consisting of two 5 cm square metal plates separated by a 1 mm gap, with a 1 mm thick dielectric sheet of the same area that can be slid between the plates. The document asks to calculate the capacitance of the sensor when the input displacement of the dielectric sheet is 0.0 cm, 2.5 cm, and 5.0 cm, given the dielectric constants of air and the material.

A variable dielectric capacitive displacement sensor

consists of two square metal plates of side 5 cm, separated

by a gap of 1 mm. A sheet of dielectric material 1 mm thick

and of the same area as the plates can be slid between

them as shown in Figure below. Given that the dielectric

constant of air is 1 and that of the dielectric material 4,

calculate the capacitance of the sensor when the input

displacement x = 0.0, 2.5 and 5.0 cm.
