Two identical condensers are joined as shown in the figure. When the switch $S$ is closed,the total energy of the system is $U_1$. If the switch is opened and both the condensers are filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$,then the energy of the system becomes $U_2$. The value of $\frac{U_1}{U_2}$ is

  • A
    $3: 1$
  • B
    $5: 1$
  • C
    $3: 5$
  • D
    $5: 3$

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 capacitor of area $A$,plate separation $d$ and capacitance $C$ is filled with three different dielectric materials having dielectric constants $k_1, k_2$ and $k_3$ as shown in the figure. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance $C$ in this capacitor,then its dielectric constant $k$ is given by:

$A$ slab of material of dielectric constant $K$ has the same area as the plates of a parallel plate capacitor but has a thickness $(4/5)d$, where $d$ is the separation of the plates. The capacitance in the presence and absence of dielectric are $C$ and $C_0$ respectively. The ratio $(C/C_0)$ is

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged and the charging battery is then disconnected. If the plates of the capacitor are moved further apart by means of insulating handles,then

Which one statement is correct? $A$ parallel plate air condenser is connected to a battery. Its charge,potential,electric field,and energy are ${Q_0}$,${V_0}$,${E_0}$,and ${U_0}$ respectively. $A$ dielectric slab is inserted to fill the complete space between the plates while the battery remains connected. Now,the corresponding values $Q$,$V$,$E$,and $U$ are related to the initial values as:
