$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air as the dielectric has capacitance $C$. $A$ slab of dielectric constant $K$ and having the same thickness as the separation between the plates is introduced so as to fill one-fourth of the capacitor as shown in the figure. The new capacitance will be

  • A
    $(K+3) \frac{C}{4}$
  • B
    $(K+2) \frac{C}{4}$
  • C
    $(K+1) \frac{C}{4}$

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by a distance $d.$ Two slabs of different dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ with thicknesses $\frac{3}{8} d$ and $\frac{d}{2}$ respectively are inserted into the capacitor. Due to this,the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If $K_1 = 1.25 K_2,$ find the value of $K_1.$

For changing the capacitance of a given parallel plate capacitor,a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is used,which has the same area as the plates of the capacitor. The thickness of the dielectric slab is $\frac{3}{4} d$,where $d$ is the separation between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor. The new capacitance $(C')$ in terms of original capacitance $(C_{0})$ is given by the following relation:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of length $l$,width $w$,and separation $d$. It is connected to a battery of emf $V$. $A$ dielectric slab of the same thickness $d$ and dielectric constant $k = 4$ is being inserted between the plates. At what length $x$ of the slab inside the plates will the energy stored in the capacitor be two times the initial energy stored?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K = 4$. The thickness of the dielectric material is $x$,where $x < d$.
Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be the capacitance of the system for $x = \frac{d}{3}$ and $x = \frac{2d}{3}$,respectively. If $C_1 = 2 \mu F$,the value of $C_2$ is $........... \mu F$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having air as the dielectric medium is charged by a potential difference of $V$ volt. After disconnecting the battery,the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulated handle. As a result,the potential difference between the plates . . . . . . .
