A parallel plate capacitor is made of two dielectric blocks in series. One of the blocks has thickness \(d_1\) and dielectric constant \(K_1\) and the other has thickness \(d_2\) and dielectric constant \(K_2\), as shown in the figure. This arrangement can be thought of as a dielectric slab of thickness \(d= d_1+d_2\) and effective dielectric constant \(K\). The \(K\) is:
1. | \(\frac{{K}_{1} {d}_{1}+{K}_{2} {d}_{2}}{{d}_{1}+{d}_{1}}\) | 2. | \(\frac{{K}_{1} {d}_{1}+{K}_{2} {d}_{2}}{{K}_{1}+{K}_{2}}\) |
3. | \(\frac{{K}_{1} {K}_{2}\left({d}_{1}+{d}_{2}\right)}{{K}_{1} {d}_{2}+{K}_{2} {d}_{1}}\) | 4. | \(\frac{2 {K}_{1} {K}_{2}}{{K}_{1}+{K}_{2}}\) |

In the circuit shown in the figure initially key \(K_1\) is closed and key \(K_2\) is open. Then \(K_1\) is opened and \(K_2\) is closed (order is important).
[Take \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) as charges on \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) and \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) as voltage respectively.]
Then,
a. | charge on \(C\) gets redistributed such that \(V_1= V_2\) |
b. | charge on \(C\) gets redistributed such that \(Q_1= Q_2\) |
c. | charge on \(C\) gets redistributed such that \(C_1V_1+C_2V_2 = C_1 E\) |
d. | charge on \(C\) gets redistributed such that \(Q_1+Q_2 =Q\) |
a. | the electric field is uniform |
b. | the electric field is zero |
c. | there can be no charge inside the region |
d. | the electric field shall necessarily change if a charge is placed outside the region |
