The area of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $A$ and the gap between them is $d$. The gap is filled with a non-homogeneous dielectric whose dielectric constant varies with the distance $‘y’$ from one plate as : $K = \lambda \ sec(\pi y/2d)$, where $\lambda $ is a dimensionless constant. The capacitance of this capacitor is
  • A$\pi \varepsilon_0\lambda A / 2d$
  • B$\pi \varepsilon_0\lambda A /d$
  • C$2\pi \varepsilon_0\lambda A /d$
  • D
    none
