(A) The initial capacitance of the air-filled capacitor is given by $C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$, where $A = 12 \,cm^2$ and $d = 0.6 \,cm$.When a dielectric slab of thickness $t = 0.6 \,cm$ and dielectric constant $K$ is inserted, and the plate separation is increased by $0.2 \,cm$ (new separation $d' = 0.6 + 0.2 = 0.8 \,cm$), the new capacitance is $C' = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d' - t + t/K}$.Given that $C = C'$, we have $\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d' - t + t/K}$.Substituting the values: $\frac{1}{0.6} = \frac{1}{0.8 - 0.6 + 0.6/K}$.$0.6 = 0.2 + \frac{0.6}{K}$.$0.4 = \frac{0.6}{K}$.$K = \frac{0.6}{0.4} = 1.5$.

$A$ capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $12 \,cm^2$ and they are $0.6 \,cm$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $12 \,cm^2$ and $0.6 \,cm$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $0.2 \,cm$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.834 \times 10^{-12} \,F/m$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $80 \times 10^{-6} \ F$ when air is present between the plates. The volume between the plates is then completely filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 20$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of $30 \ V$. The dielectric slab is then removed while the capacitor remains connected to the battery. Calculate the charge that passes through the wire.

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor of plate area $10 \text{ cm}^2$ and plate separation $3 \text{ mm}$ is charged to a potential difference $12 \text{ V}$ and then the battery is disconnected. $A$ slab of dielectric constant $3$ is then inserted between the plates. The work done on the system in the process of inserting the slab is $\alpha \varepsilon_0$. The value of $\alpha$ is (Take $\varepsilon_0$ as the permittivity of free space).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 \ pF$. The separation between its plates is $d$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has a dielectric constant $k_1 = 3$ and thickness $d/3$,while the other one has a dielectric constant $k_2 = 6$ and thickness $2d/3$. The capacitance of the capacitor is now . . . . . . $pF$.
