$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 \ pF$. The separation between its plates is $d$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has a dielectric constant $K_1 = 6$ and thickness $\frac{d}{3}$,while the other one has a dielectric constant $K_2 = 12$ and thickness $\frac{2d}{3}$. The capacitance of the capacitor is now ......... $pF$.

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.

$A$ medium having dielectric constant $K > 1$ fills the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The plates have a large area,and the distance between them is $d$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of voltage $V$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. Now,the plates are moved such that the distance between them becomes $2d$,with the dielectric slab of thickness $d$ remaining in between,as shown in Figure $(b)$. In the process of going from the configuration depicted in Figure $(a)$ to that in Figure $(b)$,which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a resistanceless circuit with a battery until the capacitor is fully charged. The battery is then disconnected from the circuit and the plates of the capacitor are moved to half of their original separation using insulated gloves.

Let $V_{old}$ be the potential difference across the capacitor plates when they were connected to the battery. Find the ratio $\frac{V_{new}}{V_{old}}$.
