Cylindrical Capacitor with Compound Dielectric

Cylindrical Capacitor with Compound Dielectric is shown in Figure given below

Let r1 = radius of the core
r2 = radius of inner dielectric εr1
r3 = radius of outer dielectric εr2
Obviously, there are two capacitors joined in series.

Now

Total capacitance of the cable is

Now for capacitors joined in series, charge is the same.
∴ Q = C1V1 = C2V2

From this relation, V2 and V1 can be found,

Putting the values of C1 and C2, we get

Voltage gradient is inversely proportional to the permittivity and the inner radius of the insulating material.
