Two parallel plates have equal and opposite charges. When the space between them is evacuated,the electric field between the plates is $2 \times 10^5 \ V/m$. When the space is filled with a dielectric,the electric field becomes $1 \times 10^5 \ V/m$. Find the dielectric constant of the dielectric material.

When a capacitor is filled with a dielectric constant $K = 3$,the charge is $Q_0$,voltage is $V_0$,and electric field is $E_0$. If the capacitor is now filled with a dielectric constant $K = 9$,what will be the new charge,voltage,and electric field respectively?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a plate separation of $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $d/2$ and the same area as the capacitor plates is inserted between them without touching the plates. The capacitance of the resulting capacitor becomes:

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?

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor,a plate of thickness $t_1$ and dielectric constant $k_1$ is placed. In the rest of the space,there is another plate of thickness $t_2$ and dielectric constant $k_2$. The potential difference across the capacitor will be
