Two circular plates each of radius 'r' are kept parallel to each other distance 'd' apart. The capacitance of the capacitor formed is '$C_1$'. If the radius of each of the plates is increased to $\sqrt{3}$ times the earlier radius and their distance of separation decreased to half the initial value, the capacitance now becomes '$C_2$'. The ratio $C_1 : C_2$ is

Seven identical plates each of area $A$ and successive separation $d$ are arranged as shown in the figure. The effective capacitance of the system between $P$ and $Q$ is

One plate of a parallel plate capacitor is connected to a spring as shown in the figure. The area of each plate of the capacitor is $A$ and the distance between the plates is $d$,when the battery is not connected and the spring is unstretched. After connecting the battery,in the steady state the distance between the plates is $0.75 d$,then the force constant of the spring is

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is $12\,\mu F$. If the distance between the plates is doubled and the area is halved,then the new capacitance will be.........$\mu F$.

Two protons $A$ and $B$ are placed in the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor charged up to $V$ volts (see figure). If the forces on the protons are $F_A$ and $F_B$ respectively,then:
