Two square-shaped metal plates of side $1 \,m$, kept $0.01 \,m$ apart in air, form a parallel plate capacitor. It is connected to a battery of $500 \,V$. The plates of the capacitor are then immersed in an insulating oil by lowering the plates vertically with a speed of $0.001 \,m/s$. If the dielectric constant of the oil is $11$, then the current drawn from the battery during this process is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C_1$ with a dielectric slab in between its plates is connected to a battery. It has a potential difference $V_1$ across its plates. When the dielectric slab is removed,keeping the capacitor connected to the battery,the new capacitance and potential difference are $C_2$ and $V_2$ respectively. Then:
