The separation between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $d$ and the area of each plate is $A$. When a slab of material of dielectric constant $k$ and thickness $t$ $(t < d)$ is introduced between the plates,its capacitance becomes

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d + t(1 - \frac{1}{k})}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d + t(1 + \frac{1}{k})}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d - t(1 - \frac{1}{k})}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d - t(1 + \frac{1}{k})}$

The distance between two plates of a capacitor is $d$ and its capacitance is $C_1$,when air is the medium between the plates. If a metal sheet of thickness $\frac{2d}{3}$ and of same area as the plate is introduced between the plates,the capacitance of the capacitor becomes $C_2$. The ratio $\frac{C_2}{C_1}$ is: (in $:1$)

When a slab of dielectric material is introduced between the parallel plates of a capacitor which remains connected to a battery,then the charge on the plates relative to the earlier charge:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having cross-sectional area $A$ and separation $d$ has air in between the plates. Now,an insulating slab of same area but thickness $t = d/2$ is inserted between the plates as shown in the figure,having dielectric constant $K = 4$. The ratio of the new capacitance to its original capacitance will be:

$A$ capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. $A$ dielectric slab is then inserted between the plates. What is the result?

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?
