Two square-shaped metal plates of side $1 \,m$, kept $0.01 \,m$ apart in air, form a parallel plate capacitor. It is connected to a battery of $500 \,V$. The plates of the capacitor are then immersed in an insulating oil by lowering the plates vertically with a speed of $0.001 \,m/s$. If the dielectric constant of the oil is $11$, then the current drawn from the battery during this process is:

  • A
    $4.425 \times 10^{-6} \,A$
  • B
    $4.425 \times 10^{-5} \,A$
  • C
    $4.425 \times 10^{-9} \,A$
  • D
    $4.425 \times 10^{-2} \,A$

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, a dielectric plate is introduced to completely fill the space between the plates. The capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the battery. The dielectric plate is slowly drawn out of the capacitor parallel to the plates. The plot of the potential difference $V$ across the plates versus the length $x$ of the dielectric plate drawn out is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by distance $d$ between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as $k(x)=K(1+\alpha x)$ where $x$ is the distance measured from one of the plates. If $(\alpha d) << 1$,the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression:
