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).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has two layers of dielectric as shown in the figure. This capacitor is connected across a battery. The graph between electric field $(E)$ and distance $(x)$ from the left plate will be:

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:
