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:

  • A
    $1 : 4$
  • B
    $4 : 1$
  • C
    $3 : 8$
  • D
    $1 : 6$

Two identical parallel plate capacitors,of capacitance $C$ each,have plates of area $A$,separated by a distance $d$. The space between the plates of the two capacitors is filled with three dielectrics,of equal thickness and dielectric constants $K_1$,$K_2$,and $K_3$. The first capacitor is filled as shown in fig. $I$,and the second one is filled as shown in fig. $II$. If these two modified capacitors are charged by the same potential $V$,the ratio of the energy stored in the two would be ($E_1$ refers to capacitor $(I)$ and $E_2$ to capacitor $(II)$):

The figure given below shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery with switch $S$ closed. The switch is now opened and the free space between the plates of both capacitors is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$. What will be the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric?
