Two dielectric slabs of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ are filled between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor as shown in the figure. If the area of each plate is $A$ and the separation between the plates is $d$,what is the equivalent capacitance of the capacitor?

  • A
    $\frac{{2{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}({K_1} + {K_2})$
  • B
    $\frac{{2{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}\left( {\frac{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}{{{K_1}{K_2}}}} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}\left( {\frac{{{K_1}{K_2}}}{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}} \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{{2{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}\left( {\frac{{{K_1}{K_2}}}{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}} \right)$
