The gap between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of area $A$ and distance between plates $d$ is filled with a dielectric whose permittivity varies linearly from $\varepsilon_1$ at one plate to $\varepsilon_2$ at the other. The capacitance of the capacitor is

  • A
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_1 + \varepsilon_2)A/d$
  • B
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_2 + \varepsilon_1)A/2d$
  • C
    $\varepsilon_0 A / [d \ln(\varepsilon_2/\varepsilon_1)]$
  • D
    $\varepsilon_0(\varepsilon_2 - \varepsilon_1)A / [d \ln(\varepsilon_2/\varepsilon_1)]$
