If an electron enters into a space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor at an angle $\alpha$ with the plates and leaves at an angle $\beta$ to the plates,the ratio of its kinetic energy while entering the capacitor to that while leaving will be

$A$ capacitor,$C_1 = 6 \ \mu F$ is charged to a potential difference of $V_0 = 5 \ V$ using a $5 \ V$ battery. The battery is removed and another capacitor,$C_2 = 12 \ \mu F$ is inserted in place of the battery.
