A parallel plate capacitor has capacitance $C$. If it is equally filled with parallel layers of materials of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ its capacity becomes $C_1$. The ratio of $C_1$ to $C$ is

  • A

    ${K_1} + {K_2}$

  • B

    $\frac{{{K_1}{K_2}}}{{{K_1} - {K_2}}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}{{{K_1}{K_2}}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{2{K_1}{K_2}}}{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}$

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. . . . . . . .
