Verified by ExpertsD
Area of the given metallic plate A = π π r 2
Area of the dielectric plate 
Uncovered area of the metallic plates 


The given situation is equivalent to a parallel combination of two capacitor. One capacitor (C') is filled with a dielectric medium (K = 6) having area
while the other capacitor (C'') is air filled having area 
Hence
