What will be the capacity of a parallel-plate capacitor when the half of the parallel space between the plates is filled by a material of dielectric constant $\varepsilon_r$? Assume that the capacity of the capacitor in air is $C$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 \, pF$. The separation between its plates is $d$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has dielectric constant $K_1 = 3$ and thickness $d/3$,while the other one has dielectric constant $K_2 = 6$ and thickness $2d/3$. The capacitance of the capacitor is now.........$pF$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates $d$,plate area $A$,and material with dielectric constant $K$ has capacitance $C_0$. Now,one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant $2K$,such that effectively there are two capacitors: one with area $\frac{1}{3}A$,dielectric constant $2K$,and another with area $\frac{2}{3}A$ and dielectric constant $K$. If the capacitance of this new capacitor is $C$,then $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $C_0$. If a dielectric slab of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ and thickness equal to one-fourth of the distance between the plates is inserted,the new capacitance is $C$. Then,the ratio $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:
