$A$ parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates $d$,plate area $A$,and material with dielectric constant $K$ has capacitance $C_0$. Now,one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant $2K$,such that effectively there are two capacitors: one with area $\frac{1}{3}A$,dielectric constant $2K$,and another with area $\frac{2}{3}A$ and dielectric constant $K$. If the capacitance of this new capacitor is $C$,then $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$
