$A$ capacitor is charged by a battery and the energy stored is $U$. Now,the battery is removed and the distance between the plates is increased to four times its original value. The new energy stored becomes:

  • A
    $4 U$
  • B
    $U$
  • C
    $3 U$
  • D
    $2 U$

Assertion : $A$ parallel plate capacitor is connected across a battery through a key. $A$ dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ is introduced between the plates. The energy stored becomes $K$ times.
Reason : The surface density of charge on the plate remains constant or unchanged.

Two parallel plates of area $A$ are separated by two different dielectrics as shown in the figure. Find the resultant capacitance.

$A$ capacitor stores $60 \mu C$ charge when connected across a battery. When the gap between the plates is filled with a dielectric,a charge of $120 \mu C$ flows through the battery. The dielectric constant of the material inserted is:

$A$ charged conductor produces an electric field of intensity $10^3 \ V/m$ just outside its surface in vacuum. Then,it produces an electric field of intensity $E$ just outside its surface,when it is placed in a medium of dielectric constant $4$. The value of $E$ will be (in $V/m$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having cross-sectional area $A$ and separation $d$ has air in between the plates. Now,an insulating slab of same area but thickness $t = d/2$ is inserted between the plates as shown in the figure,having dielectric constant $K = 4$. The ratio of the new capacitance to its original capacitance will be:
