Answer:

e). The ratio is not given

Explanation:

Capacitance of a capacitor

The expression for the capacitance of a capacitor with di electric material is given as

C=KεA/d

where

ε=permittivity of di electric

C= capacitance in farads

A= Area of plate

d= separating distance

K= dielectric constant

let the distance in capacitor B be 1mm

therefore the distance in A is 0.5mm

For the first (A) capacitor

C1=8εA/0.5

C1=16εA

For the Second (B) capacitor

C2=8εA/1

C2=8εA

the ratio of the capacitance of A to B

=C1/C2

=16εA/8εA

=2/1

=2
