Two capacitors of capacitance $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged to potential $V$. The battery is now removed and the capacitor $C$ is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The potential difference across each capacitor will be

  • A
    $\frac{3V}{K + 2}$
  • B
    $\frac{3V}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{V}{K + 2}$
  • D
    $\frac{V}{K}$

The parallel combination of two air-filled parallel plate capacitors of capacitance $C$ and $nC$ is connected to a battery of voltage $V$. When the capacitors are fully charged,the battery is removed,and after that,a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the two plates of the first capacitor. The new potential difference of the combined system is

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

Consider the arrangement shown in the figure. The total energy stored is $U_1$ when the key $K$ is closed. Now,the key $K$ is opened,and two dielectric slabs of relative permittivity $\epsilon_r$ are introduced between the plates of the two capacitors. The slabs fit tightly between the plates. The total energy stored is now $U_2$. Then,the ratio $U_1/U_2$ is:

In a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now,a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $K = 2$ is introduced between the plates,due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity back to the original value,the separation between the plates must be increased to......$mm$. (in $.5$)

$A$ capacitor is charged and then the battery is disconnected. If a dielectric slab is inserted between the plates,choose the correct statement.
