  • A
    $\frac{U_0}{K}$
  • B
    $U_0 K^2$
  • C
    $\frac{U_0}{K^2}$
  • D

$A$ combination of parallel plate capacitors is maintained at a certain potential difference. When a $3 \, mm$ thick slab is introduced between all the plates,in order to maintain the same potential difference,the distance between the plates is increased by $2.4 \, mm$. Find the dielectric constant of the slab.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with oil between the plates (dielectric constant of oil $K = 2$) has a capacitance $C$. If the oil is removed,then the capacitance of the capacitor becomes:

An air capacitor of capacity $C = 10\,\mu F$ is connected to a constant voltage battery of $12\,V$. Now,the space between the plates is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $K = 5$. The charge that flows from the battery to the capacitor is......$\mu C$.

The capacitance of a capacitor becomes $\frac{7}{6}$ times the original value if a dielectric slab of thickness $t = \frac{2d}{3}$ is introduced between the plates, where $d$ is the distance of separation between the plates. The dielectric constant of the slab is
