Here, the electric field, $\vec{E}=E \cos 45 \hat{i}+E \sin 45 \hat{j}=\frac{E}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})$

now, $V_{A}-V_{B}=\int_{A}^{B} \vec{E} \cdot \overrightarrow{d r}=\int_{A}^{B} \frac{E}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i}+\hat{j}) \cdot(d x \hat{i}+d y \hat{j})=\frac{E}{\sqrt{2}}\left[\int_{0}^{0.03} d x+\int_{0.02}^{0} d y\right]$

or $V_{A}-V_{B}=\frac{400}{\sqrt{2}}[0.03-0.02]=2.8 V$

    A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ has spacing $d$ between two plates having area $A$. The region between the plates is filled with $N$ dielectric layers, parallel to its plates, each with thickness $\delta=\frac{ d }{ N }$. The dielectric constant of the $m ^{\text {th }}$ layer is $K _{ m }= K \left(1+\frac{ m }{ N }\right)$. For a very large $N \left(>10^3\right)$, the capacitance $C$ is $\alpha\left(\frac{ K \varepsilon_0 A }{ d \;ln 2}\right)$. The value of $\alpha$ will be. . . . . . . .
