The gap between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is filled with isotropic dielectric whose permittivity varies linearly from to in the direction perpendicular to the plates. The area of each plate equals the separation between the plates is equal to . Find: (a) the capacitance of the capacitor; (b) the space density of the bound charges as a function of if the charge of the capacitor is and the field in it is directed toward the growing values.
