Three identical capacitors $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu F$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $C_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_{r}$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0=8 \,V$. First the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged,$S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium,the charge on $C_3$ is found to be $5 \mu C$. The value of $\varepsilon_{r}$ is:

While working on a physics project at a school physics lab,you require a $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor in a circuit across a potential difference of $1 \,kV$. Unfortunately,$4 \,\mu F$ capacitors are out of stock in your lab,but $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors which can withstand a potential difference of $400 \,V$ are available in plenty. If you decide to use the $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors in place of the $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor,what is the minimum number of capacitors required?
