$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two plates of length $l$,width $w$ and separated by distance $d$. $A$ dielectric slab (dielectric constant $K$) that fits exactly between the plates is held near the edge of the plates. It is pulled into the capacitor by a force $F = -\frac{\partial U}{\partial x}$ where $U$ is the energy of the capacitor when the dielectric is inside the capacitor up to distance $x$ (See figure). If the charge on the capacitor is $Q$,then the force on the dielectric when it is near the edge is

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $0.05\, m$. An electric field of $3 \times 10^4\, V/m$ is established between the plates. The capacitor is disconnected from the battery,and an uncharged metal plate of thickness $0.01\, m$ is inserted. If a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 2$ is inserted instead of the metal plate,what will be the potential difference in $kV$?

$A$ 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 has a capacitance of $5 \ \mu F$. When a glass plate is inserted between the plates of the capacitor,its potential becomes $1/8$ of its original value. What is the value of the dielectric constant?

$A$ capacitor of $10 \mu F$ capacitance,whose plates are separated by $10 \text{ mm}$ through air and each plate has an area of $4 \text{ cm}^2$,is now filled equally with two dielectric media of $K_1=2$ and $K_2=3$ respectively,as shown in the figure. If the new force between the plates is $8 \text{ N}$,the supply voltage is . . . . . . $V$.
