Two capacitors of capacities $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged up to potential $V$. The battery is removed and the capacitor of capacity $C$ is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The potential difference across the capacitors will now be

  • A
    $\frac{3 V}{K}$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 V}{K+2}$
  • D
    $\frac{V}{K+2}$

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is $5\, \mu F$. When a glass slab of thickness equal to the separation between the plates is introduced between the plates,the potential difference reduces to $1/8$ of the original value. The dielectric constant of glass is

There is an air-filled $1\,pF$ parallel plate capacitor. When the plate separation is doubled and the space is filled with wax,the capacitance increases to $2\,pF$. The dielectric constant of wax is

Two square-shaped metal plates of side $1 \,m$, kept $0.01 \,m$ apart in air, form a parallel plate capacitor. It is connected to a battery of $500 \,V$. The plates of the capacitor are then immersed in an insulating oil by lowering the plates vertically with a speed of $0.001 \,m/s$. If the dielectric constant of the oil is $11$, then the current drawn from the battery during this process is:
