A dielectric slab, of dielectric constan...

A dielectric slab, of dielectric constant k, is introduced between the two plates of a parallel plate air capacitor. As a result, the capacitance per unit area of the capacitor becomes double the previous value. Show that, `K=(2x)/(2x-d)`' where x =separation between the two plates of the capacitor, and d = thickness of the dielectric slab.
