A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area LW andplateseperation, t , has the region between its plates filledwithwedges of two dielectric materials as shown in Figure. Assume tismuch less than both L and W. (a) Determine its capacitance,(b)Should the capacitance be the same if the labels K1andK2 are interchanged? Demonstrate that youexpressiondoes or does not have this property. (c) Show that if k1andK2 approach equality to a common valueK1,you result becomes the same as the capacitance of acapacitorcontaining a single dielectric: C=kεoLW/t
