$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacity $C_0$ is charged to a potential $V_0$. $(i)$ The energy stored in the capacitor when the battery is disconnected and the plate separation is doubled is $E_1$. (ii) The energy stored in the capacitor when the charging battery is kept connected and the separation between the capacitor plates is doubled is $E_2$. Then,the value of $E_1 / E_2$ is:

In the circuit shown in the figure,four capacitors are connected to a battery. $A$ parallel plate capacitor has an electric field of $10^5 \ V/m$ between its plates. If the charge on the capacitor plate is $1 \ \mu C$,then the force on each capacitor plate is.....$N$.

Two capacitors of capacitances $1 \ \mu F$ and $2 \ \mu F$ are charged to potential differences $20 \ V$ and $15 \ V$ as shown in the figure. If terminals $B$ and $C$ are connected together and terminals $A$ and $D$ are connected together,then find the final charge on the $1 \ \mu F$ capacitor.
