Two identical capacitors $1$ and $2$ are connected in series. Capacitor $2$ contains a dielectric slab of constant $K$ as shown. They are connected to a battery of emf $V_0 \text{ volts}$. The dielectric slab is then removed. Let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be the charges stored in the capacitors before removing the slab,and $Q'_1$ and $Q'_2$ be the values after removing the slab. Then:

$A$ parallel plate air capacitor is charged up to $100 \,V$. $A$ plate $2 \,mm$ thick is inserted between the plates. Then, to maintain the same potential difference, the distance between the plates is increased by $1.6 \,mm$. The dielectric constant of the thick plate is

The outer sphere of a spherical air capacitor is earthed. For increasing its capacitance:

$A$ container has a base of $50 \text{ cm} \times 5 \text{ cm}$ and height $50 \text{ cm}$, as shown in the figure. It has two parallel electrically conducting walls each of area $50 \text{ cm} \times 50 \text{ cm}$. The remaining walls of the container are thin and non-conducting. The container is being filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $3$ at a uniform rate of $250 \text{ cm}^3 \text{ s}^{-1}$. What is the value of the capacitance of the container after $10 \text{ s}$ (in $\text{ pF}$)? [Given: Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2 \text{ N}^{-1} \text{ m}^{-2}$, the effects of the non-conducting walls on the capacitance are negligible]

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged by a battery and the battery remains connected. $A$ dielectric slab of constant $K$ is inserted between the plates and then taken out. What happens to the electric field between the plates?
