To this end, proceed as follows: (a) Find the electric fields E₁ and E2 in the two dielectric layers. (b) Calculate the energy stored in each section and use the result to calculate C₁ and C₂. (c) Use the total energy stored in the capacitor to obtain an expression for C. Show that (4.133) is indeed a valid result.

4.56 Figure P4.56(a) depicts a capacitor consisting of two
parallel, conducting plates separated by a distance d. The space
between the plates contains two adjacent dielectrics, one with
permittivity and surface area A₁ and another with 2 and A2.
