$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by a distance $d$. If a dielectric slab of thickness $t$ and dielectric constant $K$ is inserted between the plates,what is the new capacitance?

  • A
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d - t(1 - 1/K)}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d + t(1 - 1/K)}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d - t(1 + 1/K)}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\varepsilon _0}A}{{d + t(1 + 1/K)}}$
