Physics Question from JEE Main 2026 · 24 January, Shift 2

Three parallel plate capacitors each with area AA and separation dd are filled with two dielectric (k1k_1 and k2k_2) in the following fashion. (k1>k2k_1 > k_2) Which of the following is true?

Three capacitors A, B and C, each of plate area A and plate separation d. In (A) the upper half of thickness d/2 is filled entirely with k1, and the lower half of thickness d/2 is split side by side into k1 (left, area A/2) and k2 (right, area A/2). In (B) the upper half is filled entirely with k2 and the lower half is again k1 on the left and k2 on the right. In (C) the upper half is k1 on the left and k2 on the right, while the lower half is k2 on the left and k1 on the right.
