A parallel-plate capacitor consists of $n$ dielectric slabs of end-face areas $A_1, A_2 \ldots \ldots \ldots . ., A_n$ and respective relative permittivities (dielectric constants) $k_1, k_2, \ldots ., k_n$, in the space between the plates as shown in below figure. Find the equivalent capacitance of this arrangement. Hence, show that if the areas are equal, the capacitance is $C=\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{n d} \sum_j k_j$.
