$A$ metal plate of thickness $2 \,mm$ and area $36 \pi \,mm^2$ is slid into a parallel plate capacitor of plate spacing $6 \,mm$ and area $36 \pi \,cm^2$. The metal plate is at a distance $3 \,mm$ from one of the plates. What is the capacitance of this arrangement (in $\,pF$)? (Let $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \,N m^2 C^{-2}$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $5 \ \mu F$. When a glass plate is inserted between the plates of the capacitor,its potential becomes $1/8$ of its original value. What is the value of the dielectric constant?

The capacitance of a capacitor is $1\,pF$ when there is air between its plates. If the distance between the plates is doubled and the space between them is filled with wax,the new capacitance becomes $2\,pF$. What is the dielectric constant of the wax?

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:
