A parallel plate capacitor has capacitance CCC, when there is vacuum within the parallel plates. A sheet having thickness (13)rd\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\mathrm{rd}}(31​)rd of the separation between the plates and relative permittivity KKK is introduced between the plates. The new capacitance of the system is :
