$A$ charged capacitor is disconnected from the battery and if the distance between the two plates of the capacitor is increased then . . . . . . .

$A$ $4\,\mu F$ capacitor is connected in parallel to another capacitor of $8\,\mu F$. Both the capacitors are then connected in series with a $12\,\mu F$ capacitor and charged to $20\;V$. The charge on the plate of the $4\,\mu F$ capacitor is......$\mu C$.

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:

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a cell. Its positive plate $A$ and its negative plate $B$ have charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ respectively. $A$ third plate $C$, identical to $A$ and $B$, with charge $+Q$, is now introduced midway between $A$ and $B$, parallel to them.
