Half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $K$ parallel to the plates. If the initial capacitance is $C$,then the new capacitance will be:

  • A
    $2KC/(1+K)$
  • B
    $C(K+1)/2$
  • C
    $CK/(1+K)$
  • D
    $KC$

Two identical parallel plate capacitors of capacitance $C$ each are connected in series with a battery of emf $E$ as shown below. If one of the capacitors is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k$,then the amount of charge which will flow through the battery is (neglect internal resistance of the battery).

$A$ capacitor has some dielectric between its plates and the capacitor is connected to a $D.C.$ source. The battery is now disconnected and then the dielectric is removed. State whether the capacitance,the energy stored in it,electric field,charge stored,and the voltage will increase,decrease,or remain constant.

$A$ capacitor is charged by a battery and the energy stored is $U$. Now,the battery is removed and the distance between the plates is increased to four times its original value. The new energy stored becomes:

Two capacitors,each having capacitance $40\,\mu F$,are connected in series. The space between the plates of one of the capacitors is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ such that the equivalent capacitance of the system becomes $24\,\mu F$. The value of $K$ is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ and a separation of $10 \, mm$. Two dielectric sheets are placed between the plates with dielectric constants $k_1 = 10$ and $k_2 = 5$,and thicknesses $t_1 = 6 \, mm$ and $t_2 = 4 \, mm$ respectively. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor.
