$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $8 \;pF$ $(1 \;pF = 10^{-12} \;F)$. What will be the capacitance (in $pF$) if the distance between the plates is reduced by half,and the space between them is filled with a substance of dielectric constant $6$?

The capacity and the energy stored in a parallel plate condenser with air between its plates are respectively $C_0$ and $W_0$. If the air is replaced by glass (dielectric constant $K = 5$) between the plates,the capacity of the plates and the energy stored in it will respectively be

The capacity of a parallel plate capacitor is $10\,\mu F$ without a dielectric. If a dielectric of constant $K = 2$ is used to fill half the distance between the plates,the new capacitance in $\mu F$ is:

$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of $100\,\mu F$. The plates are at a distance $d$ apart. If a slab of thickness $t$ $(t < d)$ and dielectric constant $K = 5$ is introduced between the parallel plates,then the new capacitance will be:

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, a dielectric plate is introduced to completely fill the space between the plates. The capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the battery. The dielectric plate is slowly drawn out of the capacitor parallel to the plates. The plot of the potential difference $V$ across the plates versus the length $x$ of the dielectric plate drawn out is:
