A parallel plate capacitor with square plates is filled with four dielectrics of dielectric constants arranged as shown in the figure. The effective dielectric constant will be:





A parallel-plate capacitor of area , plate separation and capacitance is filled with four dielectric materials having dielectric constants, , and as shown in the figure below. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant is given by
