$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $C_0$. If a dielectric slab of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ and thickness equal to one-fourth of the distance between the plates is inserted,the new capacitance is $C$. Then,the ratio $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{5\varepsilon_r}{4\varepsilon_r + 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{4\varepsilon_r}{3\varepsilon_r + 1}$
  • C
    $\frac{3\varepsilon_r}{2\varepsilon_r + 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\varepsilon_r}{\varepsilon_r + 1}$

Assertion: The electrostatic force between the plates of a charged isolated capacitor decreases when a dielectric fills the whole space between the plates.
Reason: The electric field between the plates of a charged isolated capacitor increases when a dielectric fills the whole space between the plates.

$A$ capacitor $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ and the battery is disconnected. Now,if the capacitor plates are brought closer slowly by some distance,then:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $90 \ pF$ is connected to a battery of $emf$ $20 \ V$. If a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K = \frac{5}{3}$ is inserted between the plates,the magnitude of the induced charge will be.......$nC$.

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric whose dielectric constant varies with distance $x$ as per the relation: $K(x) = K_0 + \lambda x$ (where $\lambda$ is a constant). The capacitance $C$ of the capacitor would be related to its vacuum capacitance $C_0$ by the relation:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor,partially filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$,is connected to a cell of emf $V \text{ volt}$,as shown in the figure. The separation between the plates is $D$. Then:
