$A$ capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $12 \,cm^2$ and they are $0.6 \,cm$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $12 \,cm^2$ and $0.6 \,cm$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $0.2 \,cm$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.834 \times 10^{-12} \,F/m$)

In a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between plates is $3x$. This separation is filled by two layers of dielectrics,in which one layer has thickness $x$ and dielectric constant $3k$,and the other layer has thickness $2x$ and dielectric constant $5k$. If the plates of the capacitor are connected to a battery,then the ratio of the potential difference across the dielectric layers is

Two parallel plate air capacitors of same capacity $C$ are connected in parallel to a battery of e.m.f. $E$. Then,one of the capacitors is completely filled with a dielectric material of constant $K$. The change in the effective capacity of the parallel combination is:

Half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $K$ parallel to the plates. If the initial capacitance is $C$,then the new capacitance will be:
