$A$ capacitor has capacity $C$ when its parallel plates are separated by an air medium of thickness $d$. $A$ slab of material of dielectric constant $K$ having an area equal to that of the plates but thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ is inserted between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor in the presence of the slab will be:

  • A
    $KC$
  • B
    $2KC$
  • C
    $\frac{KC}{K + 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{2KC}{K + 1}$
