Parallel Plate Capacitor: Practice Problem & Solution

Four metallic plates, each with a surface area of one side A, are placed at a distance d from each other. The plates are connected as shown in the adjoining figure. Then the capacitance of the system between a and b is : Parallel Plate Capacitor diagram: Four metallic plates, each with a surface area
\[\frac{3\varepsilon_{0A}}{d}\]
\[\frac{2\varepsilon_{0A}}{d}\]
\[\frac{2}{3}\frac{\varepsilon_{0A}}{d}\]
\[\frac{3}{2}\frac{\varepsilon_{0A}}{d}\]
