$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has capacitance $C_p$. It is equally filled with parallel layers of materials of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$. Now its capacity becomes $C_K$. The ratio $C_P$ to $C_K$ is

  • A
    $K_1+K_2$
  • B
    $\frac{K_1+K_2}{K_1 K_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{K_1+K_2}{2 K_1 K_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 K_1 K_2}{K_1+K_2}$

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:
