A coaxial capacitor consists of two concentric, conducting, cylindrical surfaces, one of radius a and another of radius b, as shown in the figure. The insulating layer separating the two conducting surfaces is divided equally into two semi-cylindrical sections, one filled with dielectric 1 and the other filled with dielectric 2.
