As we learnt in

If metallic slab insert between the plates -

\dpi{100} {C}'=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d-t}

- wherein

 

 

Aluminium is a good conductor. Its sheet introduced between the plates of a capacitor is of negligible thickness. The capacity remains unchanged

With air as dielectric, C= \frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}

With\: \: space\: \: partially\: \: filled\: \: C{}'= \frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{\left ( d-t \right )}= \frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}= C
