Half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ parallel to the plates. If the initial capacitance is $C$,what will be the new (final) capacitance?

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