$A$ parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K$ between the plates has a capacitance $C$ and is charged to a potential $V \ volt$. The dielectric slab is slowly removed from between the plates and then reinserted. The net work done by the system in this process is

Five capacitors of capacitances $C_1 = C_2 = C_3 = C_4 = 10 \mu F$ and $C_5 = 2.5 \mu F$ are connected as shown, along with a battery of $50 \ V$. Find the equivalent capacitance and the charge on the capacitors.

While working on a physics project at a school physics lab,you require a $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor in a circuit across a potential difference of $1 \,kV$. Unfortunately,$4 \,\mu F$ capacitors are out of stock in your lab,but $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors which can withstand a potential difference of $400 \,V$ are available in plenty. If you decide to use the $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors in place of the $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor,what is the minimum number of capacitors required?

$A$ series combination of $n_1$ capacitors,each of value $C_1$,is charged by a source of potential difference $4V$. When another parallel combination of $n_2$ capacitors,each of value $C_2$,is charged by a source of potential difference $V$,it has the same total energy stored in it as the first combination has. The value of $C_2$ in terms of $C_1$ is:
