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:

  • A
    $2KC/(1+K)$
  • B
    $C(K+1)/2$
  • C
    $CK/(1+K)$
  • D
    $KC$

Two dielectric slabs of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ are filled between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor as shown in the figure. If the area of each plate is $A$ and the separation between the plates is $d$,what is the equivalent capacitance of the capacitor?

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $0.05\, m$. An electric field of $3 \times 10^4\, V/m$ is established between the plates. The capacitor is disconnected from the battery,and an uncharged metal plate of thickness $0.01\, m$ is inserted. If a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 2$ is inserted instead of the metal plate,what will be the potential difference in $kV$?
