Assertion : If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and the dielectric constant is increased to three times its original value,then the capacitance becomes $6$ times.
Reason : The capacity of a capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material between the plates.

Half of the space between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$. The remaining half contains air. The capacitor is now given a charge $Q$. Then:

Two identical parallel plate air capacitors are connected in series to a battery of e.m.f. $V$. If one of the capacitors is inserted in a liquid of dielectric constant $K$, then the potential difference across the other capacitor will become:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plate area $40 \ cm^2$ and plate separation $2 \ mm$. The space between the plates is filled with a dielectric medium of thickness $1 \ mm$ and dielectric constant $5$. The capacitance of the system is ($\varepsilon_0 =$ permittivity of vacuum)

$A$ capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $12 \,cm^2$ and they are $0.6 \,cm$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $12 \,cm^2$ and $0.6 \,cm$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $0.2 \,cm$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.834 \times 10^{-12} \,F/m$)
