Two identical parallel plate air capacitors are connected in series to a battery of emf $V$. If one of the capacitors is completely filled with a dielectric material of constant $K$,then the potential difference across the other capacitor will become:

  • A
    $\frac{K V}{K+1}$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{K+1}$
  • C
    $\frac{(K-1) V}{K}$
  • D
    $\frac{V}{K(K+1)}$

$A$ voltmeter reads $4 \ V$ when connected to a parallel plate capacitor with air as a dielectric. When a dielectric slab is introduced between the plates for the same configuration,the voltmeter reads $2 \ V$. What is the dielectric constant of the material?

Two identical parallel plate capacitors,of capacitance $C$ each,have plates of area $A$,separated by a distance $d$. The space between the plates of the two capacitors is filled with three dielectrics,of equal thickness and dielectric constants $K_1$,$K_2$,and $K_3$. The first capacitor is filled as shown in fig. $I$,and the second one is filled as shown in fig. $II$. If these two modified capacitors are charged by the same potential $V$,the ratio of the energy stored in the two would be ($E_1$ refers to capacitor $(I)$ and $E_2$ to capacitor $(II)$):

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a resistanceless circuit with a battery until the capacitor is fully charged. The battery is then disconnected from the circuit and the plates of the capacitor are moved to half of their original separation using insulated gloves. Let $V_{new}$ be the potential difference across the capacitor plates when the plates have moved. Let $V_{old}$ be the potential difference across the capacitor plates when they were connected to the battery. Find the ratio $\frac{V_{new}}{V_{old}}$.

$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of $10 \ \mu F$. As shown in the figure,if this capacitor is divided into two equal parts and these parts are filled with dielectric materials of dielectric constants $K_1 = 2$ and $K_2 = 4$,then the capacitance of this arrangement is ............. $\mu F$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ has a capacitance of $4 \, \mu F$. The new capacitance of the system if half of the space between them is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K = 3$ (as shown in figure) will be .........$ \mu F$.
