Four identical plates $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are placed parallel to each other at equal distances as shown in the figure. Plates $1$ and $4$ are joined together and the space between $2$ and $3$ is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k = 2$. The capacitance of the system between $1$ and $3$ and between $2$ and $4$ are $C_1$ and $C_2$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{C_1}{C_2}$ is

Two parallel plates of area $A$ are separated by two different dielectrics as shown in the figure. Find the resultant capacitance.

An air-filled parallel plate capacitor has capacity $C$. If the distance between the plates is doubled and it is immersed in a liquid,the capacity becomes twice. The dielectric constant of the liquid is:

$A$ container has a base of $50 \text{ cm} \times 5 \text{ cm}$ and height $50 \text{ cm}$, as shown in the figure. It has two parallel electrically conducting walls each of area $50 \text{ cm} \times 50 \text{ cm}$. The remaining walls of the container are thin and non-conducting. The container is being filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $3$ at a uniform rate of $250 \text{ cm}^3 \text{ s}^{-1}$. What is the value of the capacitance of the container after $10 \text{ s}$ (in $\text{ pF}$)? [Given: Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2 \text{ N}^{-1} \text{ m}^{-2}$, the effects of the non-conducting walls on the capacitance are negligible]

The capacitance of an air-filled parallel plate capacitor is $9 \ pF$. If the space between the plates is filled with two dielectric slabs of thickness $d/3$ with dielectric constant $K_1 = 3$ and thickness $2d/3$ with dielectric constant $K_2 = 6$,the new capacitance will be ...... $pF$.

If a slab of insulating material $4 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ thick is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between the plates has to be increased by $3.5 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ to restore the capacity to its original value. The dielectric constant of the material will be:
