Question

A parallel plate capacitor with square plates is filled with four dielecytrics of dielectrics constants K₁, K₂, K₃, K₄ arranged as shown in the figure. The effective dielectric constant K will be :

$K = {{{K_1}{K_2}} \over {{K_1} + {K_2}}} + {{{K_3}{K_4}} \over {{K_3} + {K_4}}}$

$K = {{\left( {{K_1} + {K_2}} \right)\left( {{K_3} + {K_4}} \right)} \over {2\left( {{K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4}} \right)}}$

$K = {{\left( {{K_1} + {K_2}} \right)\left( {{K_3} + {K_4}} \right)} \over {{K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4}}}$

$K = {{\left( {{K_1} + {K_4}} \right)\left( {{K_2} + {K_3}} \right)} \over {2\left( {{K_1} + {K_2} + {K_3} + {K_4}} \right)}}$
