The plates $S$ and $T$ of an uncharged parallel plate capacitor are connected across a battery. The battery is then disconnected and the charged plates are now connected in a system as shown in the figure. The system shown is in equilibrium. All the strings are insulating and massless. The magnitude of charge on one of the capacitor plates is: [Area of plates = $A$]

Two capacitors are shown in the diagram. Each is charged to potential $V_0$. If capacitor $C$ is filled with a dielectric of constant $2$ and capacitor $2C$ is filled with a dielectric of constant $3$,then the key is closed. The final voltage on the capacitor $C$ will be:
