Consider a parallel plate capacitor. When half of the space between the plates is filled with some dielectric material of dielectric constant K as Shown in Fig. (1) below, the capacitance is `C_(1)` . However , if the same dielectric material fills half the space as shown as shown in Fig. (2), the capacitance is `C_(2)`. Therefore, the ratio `C_(1):C_(2)`is

A

1

B

`(2K)/(K+1)`

C

`(4K)/((K+1)^(2))`

D

`(K+1)/(2)`
