The area of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $A$ and the gap between them is $d$. The gap is filled with a non-homogeneous dielectric whose dielectric constant varies with the distance $y$ from one plate as: $K = \lambda \sec(\pi y/2d)$,where $\lambda$ is a dimensionless constant. The capacitance of this capacitor is

  • A
    $\pi \varepsilon_0 \lambda A / 2d$
  • B
    $\pi \varepsilon_0 \lambda A / d$
  • C
    $2 \pi \varepsilon_0 \lambda A / d$
  • D
    none
