$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential of $100 \ V$. $A$ dielectric slab of thickness $2 \ mm$ is inserted between the plates. To maintain the same potential difference,the distance between the plates is increased by $1.6 \ mm$. The dielectric constant of the slab is:

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $1.25$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

$A$ copper slab of thickness $d/2$ is inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor,where $d$ is the distance between its two plates. If the capacitance of the capacitor without the copper slab is $C$ and with the copper slab is $C'$,find the ratio $C'/C$.

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:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity $80 \times 10^{-6} \ F$ when air is present between its plates. The space between the plates is filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $20$. The capacitor is now connected to a battery of $30 \ V$. The dielectric slab is then removed. The charge passing through the wire is:
