$A$ capacitor,$C_1 = 6 \ \mu F$ is charged to a potential difference of $V_0 = 5 \ V$ using a $5 \ V$ battery. The battery is removed and another capacitor,$C_2 = 12 \ \mu F$ is inserted in place of the battery. When the switch $S$ is closed,the charge flows between the capacitors for some time until an equilibrium condition is reached. What are the charges ($q_1$ and $q_2$) on the capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ when the equilibrium condition is reached?

Two capacitors of capacitances $1 \ \mu F$ and $2 \ \mu F$ are charged to potential differences $20 \ V$ and $15 \ V$ as shown in the figure. If terminals $B$ and $C$ are connected together and terminals $A$ and $D$ are connected together,then find the final charge on the $1 \ \mu F$ capacitor.

In the figure shown below,the charge on the left plate of the $10\, \mu F$ capacitor is $-30\,\mu C.$ The charge on the right plate of the $6\,\mu F$ capacitor is.....$\mu C$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacity $C_0$ is charged to a potential $V_0$. $(i)$ The energy stored in the capacitor when the battery is disconnected and the plate separation is doubled is $E_1$. (ii) The energy stored in the capacitor when the charging battery is kept connected and the separation between the capacitor plates is doubled is $E_2$. Then,the value of $E_1 / E_2$ is:

Identify the correct statements:
$A$. Effective capacitance of a series combination of capacitors is always smaller than the smallest capacitance of the capacitor in the combination.
$B$. When a dielectric medium is placed between the charged plates of a capacitor, displacement of charges cannot occur due to the insulation property of the dielectric.
$C$. Increasing the area of the capacitor plate or decreasing the thickness of the dielectric is an alternate method to increase the capacitance.
$D$. For a point charge, concentric spherical shells centered at the location of the charge are equipotential surfaces.
