A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of 9 pF. The separation between its plates is 'd'. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of  the dielectrics has dielectric constant k1 = 3  and thickness \(\frac{d}{3},\) while the other has dielectric constant k2 = 6  and thickness \(\frac{2 d}{3} .\) Capacitance of the capacitor is now
  1. 1.8 pF
  2. 45 pF
  3. 40.5 pF
  4. 20.25 pF

Answer

(C) 40.5 pF
