As shown in the figure,a dielectric slab of thickness $d/2$ and dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate separation $d$. The capacitor is charged to a potential $V$ using a battery. If the dielectric slab is pulled out after disconnecting the battery from the capacitor,the final potential difference across the plates of the capacitor is

  • A
    $V \left( \frac{K+1}{2K} \right)$
  • B
    $V \left( \frac{2K}{K+1} \right)$
  • C
    $V \left( \frac{K+1}{2} \right)$
  • D
    $V \left( \frac{2}{K+1} \right)$

$A$ 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?

Two condensers of capacities $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged up to potential $V$. The battery is then disconnected and the condenser of capacity $C$ is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The potential difference across the capacitors in the second case is

Two identical capacitors $1$ and $2$ are connected in series. Capacitor $2$ contains a dielectric slab of constant $K$ as shown. They are connected to a battery of emf $V_0 \text{ volts}$. The dielectric slab is then removed. Let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be the charges stored in the capacitors before removing the slab,and $Q'_1$ and $Q'_2$ be the values after removing the slab. Then:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity $80 \times 10^{-6} \,F$, when air is present between the plates. The volume between the plates is then completely filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $20$. The capacitor is now connected to a battery of $30 \,V$ by wires. The dielectric slab is then removed. Then, the charge that passes now through the wire is
