Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(C_{A}>C_{C}>C_{B}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(C_A\) :
image
Let \(\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{ d }= C\)
\(\therefore \quad C _{ A }=\frac{ K _1 C }{2}+\frac{ K _1 K_2 C }{ K _1+ K _2}\)
\(= K _1 C \left[\frac{ K _1+2 K_2}{2\left(K_1+ K _2\right)}\right]\)
For \(C _{ B }\) :
image
\(C _{ B }=\frac{ K _2 C }{2}+\frac{ K _1 K_2 C }{ K _1+ K _2}\)
\(= K _2 C \left[\frac{ K _1+2 K_2}{2\left(K_1+ K _2\right)}\right]\)
For \(C _{ C }\) :
image
\(C _{ C }=\frac{2 K_1 K_2 C }{\left( K _1+ K _2\right)}\)
\(C_A>C_C>C_B\)
