$A$ 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 $6$?

Two metal plates each of area $A$ form a parallel plate capacitor with air in between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and of same area $A$ is inserted between the plates to form two capacitors of capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ as shown in the figure. If the effective capacitance of the two capacitors is $C^{\prime}$ and the capacitance of the capacitor initially is $C$,then $\frac{C^{\prime}}{C}$ is

In a parallel plate capacitor, the radius of each circular plate is $12\,cm$ and the distance between the plates is $5\,mm$. A glass slab of $3\,mm$ thickness and radius $12\,cm$ with a dielectric constant of $6$ is placed between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor will be:

The figure shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery and a closed switch $S$. Now,the switch is opened and a dielectric material with dielectric constant $K = 3$ is inserted into the free space between the plates of both capacitors. What is the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the insertion of the dielectric?

$A$ 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
