The geometry is shown in figure. As in the figure, the system can be considered as 2
capacitors connected in parallel.




                                  1
                                 0

                          x      =k0
                                  d


                                  2



The capacitance values for each capacitor are;




So that the system capacitance is




Write the energy stored in the capacitor as a function of h in terms voltage: V.




We calculate the force F on the dielectric,


The electric force must be equal to the weight of the liquid that reaches the top edges:
Then the answer is:
