$A$ capacitor has a capacitance of $5 \mu F$ when its parallel plates are separated by an air medium of thickness $d$. $A$ slab of material with a dielectric constant of $1.5$,having an area equal to that of the plates but a thickness of $\frac{d}{2}$,is inserted between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor in the presence of the slab will be $..........\mu F$.

$A$ capacitor has some dielectric between its plates and the capacitor is connected to a $D.C.$ source. The battery is now disconnected and then the dielectric is removed. State whether the capacitance,the energy stored in it,electric field,charge stored,and the voltage will increase,decrease,or remain constant.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates $d$,plate area $A$,and material with dielectric constant $K$ has capacitance $C_0$. Now,one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant $2K$,such that effectively there are two capacitors: one with area $\frac{1}{3}A$,dielectric constant $2K$,and another with area $\frac{2}{3}A$ and dielectric constant $K$. If the capacitance of this new capacitor is $C$,then $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two square parallel plates of area $A$,and separated by a distance $d << \sqrt{A}$. The capacitor is connected to a battery with potential $V$ and allowed to fully charge. The battery is then disconnected. $A$ square metal conducting slab also with area $A$ but thickness $d/2$ is then fully inserted between the plates,so that it is always parallel to the plates. How much work has been done on the metal slab by an external agent while it is being inserted?

Assertion: When a battery remains connected,the electric potential energy increases if a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a capacitor.
Reason: When a battery remains connected,the charge on the plates of the capacitor remains the same.

In a parallel plate air capacitor of plate separation $d$,a dielectric slab of thickness $t$ is introduced between the plates $(t < d)$. The capacitance becomes one-third of the original value. The dielectric constant of the slab will be
