An air-filled parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $2 \ pF$. If the separation between the plates is doubled and the interspace between the plates is filled with a dielectric material,the capacity increases to $6 \ pF$. The dielectric constant of the material 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?

The function of a dielectric in a capacitor is

The force of repulsion between two identical positive charges when kept with a separation $r$ in air is $F$. Half the gap between the two charges is filled by a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K=4$. Then the new force of repulsion between those two charges becomes:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $C_0$. If a dielectric slab of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ and thickness equal to one-fourth of the distance between the plates is inserted,the new capacitance is $C$. Then,the ratio $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:
