$A$ 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
    some positive work is done by an external agent
  • B
    energy of the capacitor will decrease
  • C
    energy of the capacitor will increase
  • D
    none of the above

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has capacitance $C$. If it is equally filled with parallel layers of materials of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$,its capacity becomes $C_1$. The ratio of $C_1$ to $C$ is

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ has a capacitance of $4 \, \mu F$. The new capacitance of the system if half of the space between them is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K = 3$ (as shown in figure) will be .........$ \mu F$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ and then the battery is disconnected. $A$ slab of dielectric constant $K$ is then inserted between the plates of the capacitor so as to fill the space between the plates. If $Q$,$E$,and $W$ denote respectively the magnitude of charge on each plate,the electric field between the plates (after the slab is inserted),and the work done on the system in the process of inserting the slab,then:
