Let the magnitudes of the electric field in and potential drops across each dielectric be $E_3, E_2, E_1$ and $\Delta V_3, \Delta V_2, \Delta V_1$,respectively. Which one of the following statements is true?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by distance $d$ between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as $k(x)=K(1+\alpha x)$ where $x$ is the distance measured from one of the plates. If $(\alpha d) << 1$,the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression:
