The voltage rating of a parallel plate capacitor is $500\,V$. Its dielectric can withstand a maximum electric field of $10^6\,V/m$. The plate area is $10^{-4}\,m^2$. What is the dielectric constant if the capacitance is $15\,pF$? (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.86 \times 10^{-12}\,C^2/Nm^2$)

$A$ capacitor has some dielectric between its plates and the capacitor is connected to a $D.C.$ source. The battery is now disconnected and then the dielectric is removed. State whether the capacitance,the energy stored in it,electric field,charge stored,and the voltage will increase,decrease,or remain constant.

Half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ parallel to the plates. If the initial capacitance is $C$,what will be the new (final) capacitance?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric slab completely occupying the space between the plates is charged by a battery and then disconnected. The slab is pulled out with a constant speed. Which of the following curves represent qualitatively the variation of the capacitance $C$ of the system with time?

In one design of a capacitor,thin sheets of metal of area $80 \ mm \times 80 \ mm$ sandwich between them a piece of paper whose thickness is $40 \ \mu m$. The relative permittivity of the paper is $4.0$ and its dielectric strength is $20 \ MVm^{-1}$. Calculate the maximum charge that can be put on the capacitor. [Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12} \ Fm^{-1}$]

Four identical plates $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are placed parallel to each other at equal distances as shown in the figure. Plates $1$ and $4$ are joined together and the space between $2$ and $3$ is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k = 2$. The capacitance of the system between $1$ and $3$ and between $2$ and $4$ are $C_1$ and $C_2$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{C_1}{C_2}$ is
