$A$ capacitor has capacity $C$ when its parallel plates are separated by an air medium of thickness $d$. $A$ slab of material of dielectric constant $K$ having an area equal to that of the plates but thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ is inserted between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor in the presence of the slab will be:

  • A
    $KC$
  • B
    $2KC$
  • C
    $\frac{KC}{K + 1}$
  • D

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery. The quantities charge,voltage,electric field,and energy associated with the capacitor are given by $Q_0, V_0, E_0$,and $U_0$ respectively. $A$ dielectric slab is introduced between the plates of the capacitor,but the battery remains connected. The corresponding quantities now given by $Q, V, E$,and $U$ related to the previous ones are:

$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has capacity $C$ and distance of separation between plates is $d$. If a conducting sheet of thickness $\frac{2d}{3}$ is inserted between the plates,the capacitance becomes $C_1$. The ratio of $\frac{C_1}{C}$ is (in $:1$)

Half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $K$ parallel to the plates. If the initial capacitance is $C$,then the new capacitance will be:

The capacity of an air-filled parallel plate capacitor is $C_0$. One-half of the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of constant $K$ as shown in the figure. The new capacity becomes $C_n$. The ratio of $C_n$ to $C_0$ is:

If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and the dielectric constant is doubled,then the capacitance will become:
