$A$ slab of material with a dielectric constant of $3$ has the same area as the plates of a parallel plate capacitor but has a thickness of $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) d$,where $d$ is the separation between the plates. What is the electrical potential difference between the plates when the slab is inserted? The initial electrical potential difference is $V_0$.

$A$ 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 a dielectric constant $k_1 = 3$ and thickness $d/3$,while the other one has a dielectric constant $k_2 = 6$ and thickness $2d/3$. The capacitance of the capacitor is now . . . . . . $pF$.

$A$ 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 is made of two square parallel plates of area $A$,and separated by a distance $d << \sqrt{A}$. The capacitor is connected to a battery with potential $V$ and allowed to fully charge. The battery is then disconnected. $A$ square metal conducting slab also with area $A$ but thickness $d/2$ is then fully inserted between the plates,so that it is always parallel to the plates. How much work has been done on the metal slab by an external agent while it is being inserted?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two plates of length $l$,width $w$ and separated by distance $d$. $A$ dielectric slab (dielectric constant $K$) that fits exactly between the plates is held near the edge of the plates. It is pulled into the capacitor by a force $F = -\frac{\partial U}{\partial x}$ where $U$ is the energy of the capacitor when the dielectric is inside the capacitor up to distance $x$ (See figure). If the charge on the capacitor is $Q$,then the force on the dielectric when it is near the edge is
