$A$ parallel plate capacitor has an area of $6 \, cm^2$ and a separation of $3 \, mm$. The gap is filled with three dielectric materials of equal thickness (see figure) with dielectric constants $K_1 = 10, K_2 = 12$,and $K_3 = 14$. The dielectric constant of a material which,when fully inserted in the above capacitor,gives the same capacitance would be:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $36$

$A$ simple pendulum of mass $m$, length $l$, and charge $+q$ is suspended in the electric field produced by two conducting parallel plates as shown. The value of the deflection of the pendulum in the equilibrium position will be -

In the given circuit,two identical capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ are connected to a battery. The space between the plates of $C_1$ is filled with air,while the space between the plates of $C_2$ is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$. Then,

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a mica sheet of thickness $1 \times 10^{-3} \,m$ and a fiber sheet of thickness $0.5 \times 10^{-3} \,m$. The dielectric constants of mica and fiber are $8$ and $2.5$ respectively. If the fiber breaks down at an electric field of $6.4 \times 10^6 \,V/m$, then the maximum voltage that can be applied to the capacitor is: (in $\,V$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates $d$,plate area $A$,and material with dielectric constant $K$ has capacitance $C_0$. Now,one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant $2K$,such that effectively there are two capacitors: one with area $\frac{1}{3}A$,dielectric constant $2K$,and another with area $\frac{2}{3}A$ and dielectric constant $K$. If the capacitance of this new capacitor is $C$,then $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:
