Two metallic plates form a parallel plate capacitor. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal sheet of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and of area equal to the area of each plate is introduced between the plates. What will be the ratio of the new capacitance to the original capacitance of the capacitor?

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $1: 2$
  • C
    $1: 4$
  • D
    $4: 1$

$A$ 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:

Assertion: The electrostatic force between the plates of a charged isolated capacitor decreases when a dielectric fills the whole space between the plates.
Reason: The electric field between the plates of a charged isolated capacitor increases when a dielectric fills the whole space between the plates.

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
