Options:
  • A $\frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}\left(\frac{K_1+K_2}{K_1 K_2}\right)$
  • B $\frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}\left(\frac{K_1 K_2}{K_1+K_2}\right)$
  • C $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}\left(\frac{K_1+K_2}{2 K_1 K_2}\right)$
  • D $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A K_1 K_2}{2\left(d_2 K_1+d_1 K_2\right)}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}\left(\frac{K_1 K_2}{K_1+K_2}\right)$
From the formula
$\begin{aligned} C & =\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{\frac{1}{k_1}+\frac{1}{k_2}}=\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{t}\left(\frac{k_1 k_2}{k_1+k_2}\right) \\ & =\frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}\left(\frac{k_1 k_2}{k_1+k_2}\right)\end{aligned}$
