$A$ dielectric slab of thickness $d$ is inserted in a parallel plate capacitor whose negative plate is at $x = 0$ and positive plate is at $x = 3d$. The slab is equidistant from the plates. The capacitor is given some charge. As one goes from $x = 0$ to $x = 3d$:

When a dielectric material is introduced between the plates of a charged capacitor,the electric field between the plates:

An air capacitor has a capacitance of $1 \mu F$. Now the space between the two plates of the capacitor is filled with two dielectrics as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the capacitor is: [$d=$ distance between two plates of the capacitor,$K_1$ and $K_2$ are dielectric constants of the first and second dielectric respectively] (in $\mu F$)
