  • A
    $\frac{2KC}{1 + K}$
  • B
    $\frac{C(K + 1)}{2}$
  • C

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ between its plates that covers $1/3$ of the area of its plates,as shown in the figure. The total capacitance of the capacitor is $C$ while that of the portion with dielectric in between is $C_1$. When the capacitor is charged,the plate area covered by the dielectric gets charge $Q_1$ and the rest of the area gets charge $Q_2$. Choose the correct option/options,ignoring edge effects.
$(A)$ $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=1$ $(B)$ $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{1}{K}$ $(C)$ $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\frac{K}{2}$ $(D)$ $\frac{C}{C_1}=\frac{2+K}{K}$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has capacitance $C$, when there is vacuum within the parallel plates. $A$ sheet having thickness $t = d/3$ (where $d$ is the separation between the plates) and relative permittivity $K$ is introduced between the plates. The new capacitance of the system is:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with air as medium is $6\, \mu F$. With the introduction of a dielectric medium,the capacitance becomes $30\, \mu F$. The permittivity of the medium is..........$C^{2} N^{-1} m^{-2}$.
$(\varepsilon_{0} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} C^{2} N^{-1} m^{-2})$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $2\ \mu F$ with a separation of $0.4\ cm$ between the plates. If the distance between the plates is halved and the space is filled with a dielectric material of constant $K = 2.8$,the final capacitance of the capacitor will be .....$\mu F$.

$A$ capacitor is half-filled with a dielectric $(K=2)$ as shown in Figure $A$. If the same capacitor is to be filled with the same dielectric as shown in Figure $B$, what would be the thickness $t$ of the dielectric so that the capacitor still has the same capacity?
