The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is \(C\). If a dielectric slab of thickness equal to one-fourth of the plate separation and dielectric constant \(K\) is inserted between the plates, then the new capacitance will be: 
1. \(KC \over 2(K+1)\) 2. \(2KC \over K+1\)
3. \(5KC \over 4K+1\) 4. \(4KC \over 3K+1\)

A parallel plate capacitor has capacitance \(C\). If it is equally filled with parallel layers of materials of dielectric constants \(K_1\) and \(K_2\), its capacity becomes \(C_1\). The ratio of \(C_1\) to \(C\) is:

3. \(\frac{K_{1}+K_{2}}{K_{1} K_{2}}\) 4. \(\frac{2 K_{1} K_{2}}{K_{1}+K_{2}}\)

A parallel plate capacitor is made of two dielectric blocks in series. One of the blocks has thickness \(d_1\) and dielectric constant \(K_1\) and the other has thickness \(d_2\) and dielectric constant \(K_2\), as shown in the figure. This arrangement can be thought of as a dielectric slab of thickness \(d= d_1+d_2\) and effective dielectric constant \(K\). The \(K\) is:  

                                 

1. \(\frac{{K}_{1} {d}_{1}+{K}_{2} {d}_{2}}{{d}_{1}+{d}_{1}}\) 2. \(\frac{{K}_{1} {d}_{1}+{K}_{2} {d}_{2}}{{K}_{1}+{K}_{2}}\)
3. \(\frac{{K}_{1} {K}_{2}\left({d}_{1}+{d}_{2}\right)}{{K}_{1} {d}_{2}+{K}_{2} {d}_{1}}\) 4. \(\frac{2 {K}_{1} {K}_{2}}{{K}_{1}+{K}_{2}}\)
