Consider a parallel plate capacitor with area $A$ and plate separation $d$. The dielectric constant of the dielectric inside the capacitor increases linearly from $K_{1}$ at the plate at $x=0$ to $K_{2}$ at $x=d$. Find the capacitance of the arrangement.

Consider two parallel-plate capacitors identical in shape, one aligned so that the plates are horizontal and the other with the plates vertical. The horizontal capacitor is filled halfway with a material that has dielectric constant K. What fraction f The area of the vertical capacitor should be filled with the same dielectric so that the two capacitors have equal capacitance. Express your answer in terms of K.

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance $C_{0}$ . If two identically sized dielectric slabs of dielectric constants $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ are inserted as shown in Fig. $19-64$ , what is the new capacitance? [Hint: treat this as two capacitors in combination.]
