$A$ 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 $250 \text{ cm}^3 \text{ s}^{-1}$.

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and capacity $0.025 \mu F$,a metal plate of area $A$ and thickness equal to $1/3$ of the separation between the plates of the capacitor is introduced. If the capacitor is charged to $100 \ V$,then the amount of work done to remove the metal plate from the capacitor is (in $\mu J$)

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:
