$A$ parallel plate capacitor having cross-sectional area $A$ and separation $d$ has air in between the plates. Now,an insulating slab of same area but thickness $t = d/2$ is inserted between the plates as shown in the figure,having dielectric constant $K = 4$. The ratio of the new capacitance to its original capacitance will be:

  • A
    $4:1$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $8:5$
  • D
    $6:5$
