$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of $100\,\mu F$. The plates are at a distance $d$ apart. If a slab of thickness $t$ $(t < d)$ and dielectric constant $K = 5$ is introduced between the parallel plates,then the new capacitance will be:

  • A
    $100\,\mu F$
  • B
    $> 100\,\mu F$ but $< 500\,\mu F$
  • C
    $500\,\mu F$
  • D
    $< 100\,\mu F$

Consider the arrangement shown in the figure. The total energy stored is $U_1$ when the key $K$ is closed. Now,the key $K$ is opened,and two dielectric slabs of relative permittivity $\epsilon_r$ are introduced between the plates of the two capacitors. The slabs fit tightly between the plates. The total energy stored is now $U_2$. Then,the ratio $U_1/U_2$ is:
