$A$ 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 capacitor has a separation between plates of $0.885$ mm. It has a capacitance of $1$ $\mu$$F$ when the space between the plates is filled with an insulating material of resistivity $1 \times 10^{13}$ $\Omega$m and resistance $17.7 \times 10^{14}$ $\Omega$. The relative permittivity of the insulating material is $\alpha \times 10^7$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . . (Take permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$ $F$/m)

An air-filled parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $2 \ pF$. If the separation between the plates is doubled and the interspace between the plates is filled with a dielectric material,the capacity increases to $6 \ pF$. The dielectric constant of the material is:

In a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now,a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $K = 2$ is introduced between the plates,due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity back to the original value,the separation between the plates must be increased to......$mm$. (in $.5$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a plate area of $100\, m^{2}$ and a plate separation of $10\, m$. The space between the plates is filled up to a thickness of $5\, m$ with a material of dielectric constant $10$. The resultant capacitance of the system is $'x'\, pF$. Given $\varepsilon_{0} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} F \cdot m^{-1}$,the value of $'x'$ to the nearest integer is:
