$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting a $2 \ V$ battery across it. It is then disconnected from the battery and a glass slab is introduced between the plates. Which of the following pairs of quantities decrease?

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $0.05\, m$. An electric field of $3 \times 10^4\, V/m$ is established between the plates. The capacitor is disconnected from the battery,and an uncharged metal plate of thickness $0.01\, m$ is inserted.

An air capacitor has a capacitance of $1 \mu F$. Now,the space between the two plates of the capacitor is filled with two dielectrics as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the capacitor is ($d=$ distance between two plates,$K_1=8$ and $K_2=4$ are the dielectric constants of the two dielectrics respectively).

In the circuit below,if a dielectric is inserted into $C_2$,then the charge on $C_1$ will:
