A parallel plate capacitor has a total plate area A and a separation distance of 3 mm. The space between the plates is filled with three different dielectric materials, each occupying an equal area of 
and having the full thickness of 3 mm. The dielectric constants of the materials are 
, and 
.
What is the effective dielectric constant ( 
) of a single material that would give the same total capacitance if it is filled in entire space between the plates?
