When the air between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor is replaced by a dielectric medium,the intensity of the electric field:

In the adjoining figure,capacitors $(1)$ and $(2)$ have a capacitance $C$ each. When a dielectric of dielectric constant $K$ is inserted between the plates of one of the capacitors,the total charge flowing through the battery is:

$A$ 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.

$A$ container has a base of $50 \text{ cm} \times 5 \text{ cm}$ and height $50 \text{ cm}$, as shown in the figure. It has two parallel electrically conducting walls each of area $50 \text{ cm} \times 50 \text{ cm}$. The remaining walls of the container are thin and non-conducting. The container is being filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $3$ at a uniform rate of $250 \text{ cm}^3 \text{ s}^{-1}$. What is the value of the capacitance of the container after $10 \text{ s}$ (in $\text{ pF}$)? [Given: Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2 \text{ N}^{-1} \text{ m}^{-2}$, the effects of the non-conducting walls on the capacitance are negligible]

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $8 \;pF$ $(1 \;pF = 10^{-12} \;F)$. What will be the capacitance (in $pF$) if the distance between the plates is reduced by half,and the space between them is filled with a substance of dielectric constant $6$?
