What will be the capacity of a parallel-plate capacitor when the half of the parallel space between the plates is filled by a material of dielectric constant $\varepsilon_r$? Assume that the capacity of the capacitor in air is $C$.

  • A
    $\frac{2\varepsilon_r C}{1 + \varepsilon_r}$
  • B
    $\frac{C(\varepsilon_r + 1)}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_r C}{1 + \varepsilon_r}$
  • D
    $\varepsilon_r C$

Two parallel plate capacitors of capacity $C$ and $3C$ are connected in parallel and charged to a potential difference of $18V$. The battery is then disconnected,and the space between the plates of the capacitor of capacity $C$ is completely filled with a material of dielectric constant $K=9$. The final potential difference across the combination of capacitors will be $V^{\prime}$. Find $V^{\prime}$. (in $V$)

$A$ 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

Two square-shaped metal plates of side $1 \,m$, kept $0.01 \,m$ apart in air, form a parallel plate capacitor. It is connected to a battery of $500 \,V$. The plates of the capacitor are then immersed in an insulating oil by lowering the plates vertically with a speed of $0.001 \,m/s$. If the dielectric constant of the oil is $11$, then the current drawn from the battery during this process is:
