$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has capacitance $C_p$. It is equally filled with parallel layers of materials of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$. Now its capacity becomes $C_K$. The ratio $C_P$ to $C_K$ is

  • A
    $K_1+K_2$
  • B
    $\frac{K_1+K_2}{K_1 K_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{K_1+K_2}{2 K_1 K_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 K_1 K_2}{K_1+K_2}$
