In the circuit shown in the figure,$K_1$ is open. The charge on capacitor $C$ in steady state is $q_1$. Now,the key $K_1$ is closed and at steady state,the charge on $C$ is $q_2$. The ratio of charges $q_1/q_2$ is

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacity $100 \mu F$ is charged by a battery of $50 \text{ V}$. The battery remains connected and if the plates of the capacitor are separated so that the distance between them becomes double the original distance,the additional energy given by the battery to the capacitor in joules is

Three identical capacitors $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu F$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $C_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0 = 8 \ V$. First,the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged,$S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium,the charge on $C_3$ is found to be $5 \mu C$. The value of $\varepsilon_r = . . . . $

Three uncharged capacitors of capacitance $C_1$,$C_2$ and $C_3$ are connected as shown in the figure to one another and to points $A$,$B$ and $D$ at potentials $V_A$,$V_B$ and $V_D$. Then the potential at point $O$ will be

At distances of $5 \ cm$ and $10 \ cm$ outwards from the surface of a uniformly charged solid sphere,the potentials are $100 \ V$ and $75 \ V$ respectively. Then:
