The capacitance of a capacitor becomes $\frac{7}{6}$ times the original value if a dielectric slab of thickness $t = \frac{2d}{3}$ is introduced between the plates, where $d$ is the distance of separation between the plates. The dielectric constant of the slab is

  • A
    $\frac{9}{11}$
  • B
    $\frac{14}{11}$

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance $40 \mu F$ is connected to a $100 V$ power supply. Now,the intermediate space between the plates is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K=2$. Due to the introduction of the dielectric material,the extra charge and the change in the electrostatic energy in the capacitor,respectively,are:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having air as the dielectric medium is charged by a potential difference of $V$ volt.

In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates,each plate has an area of $6 \times 10^{-3} \, m^{2}$ and the distance between the plates is $3 \, mm$. The capacitance of the capacitor is $17.71 \, pF$. If this capacitor is connected to a $100 \, V$ supply,and a $3 \, mm$ thick mica sheet (of dielectric constant $k = 6$) is inserted between the plates,calculate the new capacitance,charge,and potential difference in the following cases:

Two identical parallel plate capacitors,of capacitance $C$ each,have plates of area $A$,separated by a distance $d$. The space between the plates of the two capacitors is filled with three dielectrics,of equal thickness and dielectric constants $K_1$,$K_2$,and $K_3$. The first capacitor is filled as shown in fig. $I$,and the second one is filled as shown in fig. $II$. If these two modified capacitors are charged by the same potential $V$,the ratio of the energy stored in the two would be ($E_1$ refers to capacitor $(I)$ and $E_2$ to capacitor $(II)$):
