$A$ slab of material of dielectric constant $K$ has the same area as the plates of a parallel plate capacitor but has a thickness $(4/5)d$, where $d$ is the separation of the plates. The capacitance in the presence and absence of dielectric are $C$ and $C_0$ respectively. The ratio $(C/C_0)$ is

  • A
    $\frac{5K}{K + 4}$
  • B
    $\frac{4K}{K + 5}$
  • C
    $\frac{5K}{4K + 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{K + 5}{4K}$

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:
