Two identical parallel plate capacitors,of capacitance $C$ each,have plates of area $A$,separated by a distance $d$. The space between the plates of the two capacitors is filled with three dielectrics,of equal thickness and dielectric constants $K_1$,$K_2$,and $K_3$. The first capacitor is filled as shown in fig. $I$,and the second one is filled as shown in fig. $II$. If these two modified capacitors are charged by the same potential $V$,the ratio of the energy stored in the two would be ($E_1$ refers to capacitor $(I)$ and $E_2$ to capacitor $(II)$):

  • A
    $\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{K_1 K_2 K_3}{(K_1 + K_2 + K_3)(K_2 K_3 + K_3 K_1 + K_1 K_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{9 K_1 K_2 K_3}{(K_1 + K_2 + K_3)(K_2 K_3 + K_3 K_1 + K_1 K_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{(K_1 + K_2 + K_3)(K_2 K_3 + K_3 K_1 + K_1 K_2)}{9 K_1 K_2 K_3}$
  • D
    $\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{(K_1 + K_2 + K_3)(K_2 K_3 + K_3 K_1 + K_1 K_2)}{K_1 K_2 K_3}$
