Q2.

A parallel plate capacitor is filled equally (half) with two dielectrics of dielectric constant $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2$, as shown in figures. The distance between the plates is d and area of each plate is A. If capacitance in first configuration and second configuration are $C_1$ and $C_2$ respectively, then $\frac{C_1}{C_2}$ is :

(A)
$\frac{\varepsilon_1 \varepsilon_2^2}{\left(\varepsilon_1+\varepsilon_2\right)^2}$
(B)
$\frac{4 \varepsilon_1 \varepsilon_2}{\left(\varepsilon_1+\varepsilon_2\right)^2}$
(C)
$\frac{\varepsilon_1 \varepsilon_2}{\varepsilon_1+\varepsilon_2}$
(D)
$\frac{\varepsilon_0\left(\varepsilon_1+\varepsilon_2\right)}{2}$
