Two parallel plate capacitors with capacitances $C$ and $2C$ are connected in parallel. They are charged to a potential difference $V$. Now,if the battery is disconnected and a dielectric of dielectric constant $K$ is inserted between the plates of the capacitor with capacitance $C$,find the potential difference across each capacitor.

  • A
    $\frac{V}{K + 2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2V}{K + 2}$
  • C
    $\frac{3V}{K + 2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 + K}{3V}$

$A$ particle of charge $Q$ and mass $M$ moves in a circular path of radius $R$ in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $B$. The same particle now moves with the same speed in a circular path of same radius $R$ in the space between the cylindrical electrodes of a cylindrical capacitor. The radius of the inner electrode is $R/2$ while that of the outer electrode is $3R/2$. Then the potential difference between the capacitor electrodes must be
