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

The voltage rating of a parallel plate capacitor is $500\,V$. Its dielectric can withstand a maximum electric field of $10^6\,V/m$. The plate area is $10^{-4}\,m^2$. What is the dielectric constant if the capacitance is $15\,pF$? (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.86 \times 10^{-12}\,C^2/Nm^2$)

Two identical parallel plate capacitors of capacitance $C$ each are connected in series with a battery of emf $E$ as shown below. If one of the capacitors is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k$,then the amount of charge which will flow through the battery is (neglect internal resistance of the battery).

The force between two point charges kept with a separation of $9 \ cm$ in air is $98 \ N$. If a dielectric slab of constant $4$,thickness $6 \ cm$ and another dielectric slab of constant $9$,thickness $3 \ cm$ are introduced between the two charges,then the new force becomes (in $N$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C_1$ with a dielectric slab in between its plates is connected to a battery. It has a potential difference $V_1$ across its plates. When the dielectric slab is removed,keeping the capacitor connected to the battery,the new capacitance and potential difference are $C_2$ and $V_2$ respectively. Then:
