Problem

\begin{wrapfigure}[5]{r}{0.35\linewidth} \vspace{-13pt} [image — see PDF] \end{wrapfigure} The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is dd. The capacitor’s capacity is CC. Two dielectric plates of width d/2d/2 are placed between the capacitor’s plates. The relative permittivity of one plate is ε\varepsilon, the other’s is 2ε2\varepsilon. What is the capacity of the capacitor now? What is the charge at the interface between the two plates if a voltage U0U_0 is applied to the capacitor?
