$A$ medium having dielectric constant $K > 1$ fills the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The plates have a large area,and the distance between them is $d$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of voltage $V$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. Now,the plates are moved such that the distance between them becomes $2d$,with the dielectric slab of thickness $d$ remaining in between,as shown in Figure $(b)$. In the process of going from the configuration depicted in Figure $(a)$ to that in Figure $(b)$,which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?

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

In the circuit below,if a dielectric is inserted into $C_2$,then the charge on $C_1$ will:

$A$ thin metal plate $P$ is inserted halfway between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ in such a way that it is parallel to the two plates. The capacitance now becomes
