Two identical parallel plate air capacitors are connected in series to a battery of emf $V$. If one of the capacitors is inserted in a liquid of dielectric constant $K$,then the potential difference across the other capacitor will become:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air as dielectric has a capacitance of $4 \mu F$. The space between the plates of the capacitor is completely filled with a material of dielectric constant $K = 5$ and charged to a potential of $100 \ V$. The work done to completely remove the dielectric material after the capacitor is disconnected from the battery is (in $J$)

$A$ charged conductor produces an electric field of intensity $10^3 \ V/m$ just outside its surface in vacuum. Then,it produces an electric field of intensity $E$ just outside its surface,when it is placed in a medium of dielectric constant $4$. The value of $E$ will be (in $V/m$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $15 \text{ pF}$. The separation between the plates is doubled and the space between them is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $3.5$. Then the capacitance becomes $x/4 \text{ pF}$. The value of $x$ is

In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates,each plate has an area of $6 \times 10^{-3} \, m^{2}$ and the distance between the plates is $3 \, mm$. The capacitance of the capacitor is $17.71 \, pF$. If this capacitor is connected to a $100 \, V$ supply,and a $3 \, mm$ thick mica sheet (of dielectric constant $k = 6$) is inserted between the plates,calculate the new capacitance,charge,and potential difference in the following cases:
$(a)$ While the voltage supply remains connected.
$(b)$ After the supply is disconnected.
