A parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by distance $d$ between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as $\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{K}(1+\alpha \mathrm{x})$ where $\mathrm{x}$ is the distance measured from one of the plates. If $(\alpha \text {d)}<<1,$ the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression

Two parallel plates have equal and opposite charge. When the space between them is evacuated, the electric field between the plates is $2 \times {10^5}\,V/m$. When the space is filled with dielectric, the electric field becomes $1 \times {10^5}\,V/m$. The dielectric constant of the dielectric material
