Two point charges are kept in air with a separation $r$ between them. The force between them is $F_1$. If half of the space between the charges is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K=4$,the force between them becomes $F_2$. If $1/3$ rd of the space between the charges is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K=9$,then the ratio $F_1/F_2$ is:

  • A
    $27/64$
  • B
    $16/81$
  • C
    $81/64$
  • D
    $100/81$

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 $(II)$):
