In a parallel plate capacitor the separation between plates is . This separation is filled by two layers of dielectrics, in which one layer has thickness and dielectric constant , the other layer is of thickness and dielectric constant . If the plates of the capacitor are connected to a battery, then the ratio of potential difference across the dielectric layers is

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is give by relation, C=\varepsilon_r where, dielectric constant, area of parallel plate and distance between the plate. Here, and The capacitor is shown in the figure below, 
Now, and Since, in series combination of capacitor, stored charge in each capacitor is same. So, V_1=V_2= and The ratio, Hence, option (d) is correct.
