$A$ capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. $A$ dielectric slab is introduced between the plates which results in

$A$ capacitor stores $60 \ \mu C$ charge when connected across a battery. When the gap between the plates is filled with a dielectric,a charge of $120 \ \mu C$ flows through the battery. If the initial capacitance of the capacitor was $2 \ \mu F$,the amount of heat produced when the dielectric is inserted is ... $\mu J$.

Two identical capacitors $1$ and $2$ are connected in series. Capacitor $2$ contains a dielectric slab of constant $K$ as shown. They are connected to a battery of emf $V_0 \text{ volts}$. The dielectric slab is then removed. Let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be the charges stored in the capacitors before removing the slab,and $Q'_1$ and $Q'_2$ be the values after removing the slab. Then:

Two identical condensers $M$ and $N$ are connected in series with a battery. The space between the plates of $M$ is completely filled with a dielectric medium of dielectric constant $8$,and a copper plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates of $N$ ($d$ is the distance between the plates). Then the potential differences across $M$ and $N$ are,respectively,in the ratio:

For changing the capacitance of a given parallel plate capacitor,a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is used,which has the same area as the plates of the capacitor. The thickness of the dielectric slab is $\frac{3}{4} d$,where $d$ is the separation between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor. The new capacitance $(C')$ in terms of original capacitance $(C_{0})$ is given by the following relation:
