The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by a distance $d$ with air as the medium between them. $A$ dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 3$ is introduced between the plates so as to increase the capacity by $50 \%$. The thickness of the dielectric slab is

  • A
    $\frac{d}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{d}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{d}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{5d}{6}$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates $d$,plate area $A$,and material with dielectric constant $K$ has capacitance $C_0$. Now,one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant $2K$,such that effectively there are two capacitors: one with area $\frac{1}{3}A$,dielectric constant $2K$,and another with area $\frac{2}{3}A$ and dielectric constant $K$. If the capacitance of this new capacitor is $C$,then $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

An air capacitor has a capacitance of $1 \mu F$. Now,the space between the two plates of the capacitor is filled with two dielectrics as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the capacitor is ($d=$ distance between two plates,$K_1=8$ and $K_2=4$ are the dielectric constants of the two dielectrics respectively).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $80 \times 10^{-6} \ F$ when air is present between the plates. The volume between the plates is then completely filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 20$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of $30 \ V$. The dielectric slab is then removed while the capacitor remains connected to the battery. Calculate the charge that passes through the wire.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having plates of area $S$ and plate separation $d$,has capacitance $C_1$ in air. When two dielectrics of different relative permittivities $(\varepsilon_1=2$ and $\varepsilon_2=4)$ are introduced between the two plates as shown in the figure,the capacitance becomes $C_2$. The ratio $\frac{C_2}{C_1}$ is

$A$ capacitor of capacity $C$ is connected to a cell of $V \, \text{volt}$. Now,a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $\epsilon_r$ is inserted into it while keeping the cell connected. Then:
