Explain the effect of a dielectric on the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor and obtain the formula for the dielectric constant.

If half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $4$,the capacitance is $C_1$. If one third of the space between the plates of the capacitor is filled with the medium of dielectric constant $4$,the capacitance is $C_2$. If in both cases,the dielectric is placed parallel to the plates of the capacitor,then $C_1: C_2=$

Two parallel plate capacitors are connected in series and then connected to a $100 \ V$ battery. $A$ dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 4.0$ is inserted between the plates of the second capacitor. What will be the potential difference across each capacitor respectively?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor $C$ with plates of unit area and separation $d$ is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $K=2$. The initial level of the liquid is $\frac{d}{3}$. Suppose the liquid level decreases at a constant speed $V$. Find the time constant $\tau$ as a function of time $t$.

The figure given below shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery with switch $S$ closed. The switch is now opened and the free space between the plates of both capacitors is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$. What will be the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric?
