If a slab of insulating material $4 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ thick is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between the plates has to be increased by $3.5 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ to restore the capacity to its original value. The dielectric constant of the material will be:

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $12$

For changing the capacitance of a given parallel plate capacitor,a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is used,which has the same area as the plates of the capacitor. The thickness of the dielectric slab is $\frac{3}{4} d$,where $d$ is the separation between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor. The new capacitance $(C')$ in terms of original capacitance $(C_{0})$ is given by the following relation:

The energy and capacity of a charged parallel plate capacitor are $U$ and $C$ respectively. Now a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 6$ is inserted in it. Then,the new energy and capacity become (Assume the charge on the plates remains constant).

Two parallel plates of area $A$ are separated by two different dielectrics as shown in the figure. Find the resultant capacitance.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having capacity $C_0$ is charged to $V_0$. With the battery disconnected,if the separation between the plates is doubled,then the energy stored in it is $E_1$. Instead,if the separation between the plates is doubled with the battery in connection,the energy stored in it is $E_2$. Then the value of $\frac{E_2}{E_1}$ is

If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and the dielectric constant is doubled,then the capacitance will become:
