A parallel plate capacitor without any dielectric has capacitance . A dielectric slab is made up of two dielectric slabs of dielectric constants and and is of same dimensions as that of capacitor plates and both the parts are of equal dimensions arranged serially as shown. If this dielectric slab is introduced (dielectric enters first) in between the plates at a constant speed , then a variation of capacitance with time will be best represented by:
