Consider a parallel plate capacitor of $10\,\mu F$ with air filled in the gap between the plates. Now,one half of the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 4$,as shown in the figure. The capacity of the capacitor changes to.......$\mu F$.

Two capacitors of capacities $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged up to potential $V$. The battery is removed and the capacitor of capacity $C$ is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The potential difference across the capacitors will now be

Two square-shaped metal plates of side $1 \,m$, kept $0.01 \,m$ apart in air, form a parallel plate capacitor. It is connected to a battery of $500 \,V$. The plates of the capacitor are then immersed in an insulating oil by lowering the plates vertically with a speed of $0.001 \,m/s$. If the dielectric constant of the oil is $11$, then the current drawn from the battery during this process is:

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,

As shown in the figure,a dielectric slab of thickness $d/2$ and dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate separation $d$. The capacitor is charged to a potential $V$ using a battery. If the dielectric slab is pulled out after disconnecting the battery from the capacitor,the final potential difference across the plates of the capacitor is
