(D) When a copper sheet of thickness $l$ is inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor (separation $d$),the electric field inside the copper is zero.This effectively reduces the separation between the plates to $(d-l)$.The original capacitance is $C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$.The new capacitance is $C_{eq} = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d-l}$.Since $(d-l) C$.Furthermore,the capacitance $C_{eq}$ depends only on the thickness $l$ and not on the position of the sheet between the plates.Therefore,the capacitance is greater than the initial value and remains invariant for all positions of the sheet between the plates.

$A$ capacitor of $10 \mu F$ capacitance,whose plates are separated by $10 \text{ mm}$ through air and each plate has an area of $4 \text{ cm}^2$,is now filled equally with two dielectric media of $K_1=2$ and $K_2=3$ respectively,as shown in the figure. If the new force between the plates is $8 \text{ N}$,the supply voltage is . . . . . . $V$.

The parallel combination of two air-filled parallel plate capacitors of capacitance $C$ and $nC$ is connected to a battery of voltage $V$. When the capacitors are fully charged,the battery is removed,and after that,a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the two plates of the first capacitor. The new potential difference of the combined system is
