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

Two metal plates each of area $A$ form a parallel plate capacitor with air in between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and of same area $A$ is inserted between the plates to form two capacitors of capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ as shown in the figure. If the effective capacitance of the two capacitors is $C^{\prime}$ and the capacitance of the capacitor initially is $C$,then $\frac{C^{\prime}}{C}$ is
