Capacitance for small element \(dx\) is

\(\mathrm{d} \mathrm{C}=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{a} \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{d}+\mathrm{x} \alpha}\)

\(C=\int_{0}^{a} \frac{\varepsilon_{0} a d x}{d+x \alpha}\)

\(=\left.\frac{\varepsilon_{0} a}{\alpha} \ln \left(\frac{1+\alpha a}{d}\right)\right|_{0} ^{a} \quad\left(\ln (1+x) \approx x-\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)\)

\(=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{a}^{2}}{\mathrm{d}}\left(1-\frac{\alpha \mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{d}}\right)\)
