Three parallel plate capacitors each with area $A$ and separation $d$ are filled with two dielectrics ($k_1$ and $k_2$) in the following fashion. Which of the following is true? $(k_1 > k_2)$

As shown in the figure,a dielectric slab of thickness $d/2$ and dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate separation $d$. The capacitor is charged to a potential $V$ using a battery. If the dielectric slab is pulled out after disconnecting the battery from the capacitor,the final potential difference across the plates of the capacitor is

The capacity and the energy stored in a parallel plate condenser with air between its plates are respectively $C_0$ and $W_0$. If the air is replaced by glass (dielectric constant $K = 5$) between the plates,the capacity of the plates and the energy stored in it will respectively be

An air capacitor has capacitance $C_1$. The space between the two plates of the capacitor is filled with two dielectrics as shown in the figure. The new capacitance of the capacitor is $C_2$. The ratio $\frac{C_1}{C_2}$ is ($d=$ distance between two plates of the capacitor,$K_1$ and $K_2$ are dielectric constants of the two dielectrics respectively).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having cross-sectional area $A$ and separation $d$ has air in between the plates. Now,an insulating slab of same area but thickness $t = d/2$ is inserted between the plates as shown in the figure,having dielectric constant $K = 4$. The ratio of the new capacitance to its original capacitance will be:
