$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by a distance $d$. If a dielectric slab of thickness $t$ and dielectric constant $K$ is inserted between the plates,what is the new capacitance?

  • A
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d - t(1 - 1/K)}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d + t(1 - 1/K)}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d - t(1 + 1/K)}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d + t(1 + 1/K)}}$

Two metal plates each of area $A$ form a parallel plate capacitor with air in between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and of same area $A$ is inserted between the plates to form two capacitors of capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ as shown in the figure. If the effective capacitance of the two capacitors is $C^{\prime}$ and the capacitance of the capacitor initially is $C$,then $\frac{C^{\prime}}{C}$ is
