The electrostatic force between the metal plates of an isolated parallel plate capacitor \(C\) having a charge \(Q\) and area \(A\) is:

A parallel-plate capacitor of area \(A\), plate separation \(d\) and capacitance \(C\) is filled with four dielectric materials having dielectric constants \(k_1, k_2,k_3\) and \(k_4\) as shown in the figure below. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance \(C\) in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant \(k\) is given by:
