$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential of $100 \ V$. $A$ dielectric slab of thickness $2 \ mm$ is inserted between the plates. To maintain the same potential difference,the distance between the plates is increased by $1.6 \ mm$. The dielectric constant of the slab is:

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $1.25$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

An air capacitor of capacity $C = 10\,\mu F$ is connected to a constant voltage battery of $12\,V$. Now,the space between the plates is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $K = 5$. The charge that flows from the battery to the capacitor is......$\mu C$.

Two identical condensers $M$ and $N$ are connected in series with a battery. The space between the plates of $M$ is completely filled with a dielectric medium of dielectric constant $8$,and a copper plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates of $N$ ($d$ is the distance between the plates). Then the potential differences across $M$ and $N$ are,respectively,in the ratio:

The figure given below shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery with switch $S$ closed. The switch is now opened and the free space between the plates of both capacitors is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$. What will be the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric?
