$A$ frictionless dielectric plate $S$ is placed on a frictionless table $T$. $A$ charged parallel plate capacitor $C$ (whose plates are also frictionless) is kept near it. The plate $S$ is partially between the plates of the capacitor. When the plate $S$ is released, what happens?

$A$ capacitor has capacitance $C_0$ when there is no dielectric between its plates. Two slabs of dielectric constant $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively,with area equal to the area of the plates but thickness half of the distance between the plates,are placed in between the plates. Then the new capacitance is
