$A$ parallel plate air capacitor, with plate separation $d$, has a capacitance of $9 \text{ pF}$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics, the first having $K_1=3$ and thickness $d_1=d/3$, while the second has $K_2=6$ and thickness $d_2=2d/3$. The capacitance of the new capacitor is: (in $\text{ pF}$)

  • A
    $3.8$
  • B
    $20.25$
  • C

An air capacitor of capacity $C = 10\,\mu F$ is connected to a constant voltage battery of $12\,V$. Now,the space between the plates is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $K = 5$. The charge that flows from the battery to the capacitor is......$\mu C$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two square parallel plates of area $A$,and separated by a distance $d << \sqrt{A}$. The capacitor is connected to a battery with potential $V$ and allowed to fully charge. The battery is then disconnected. $A$ square metal conducting slab also with area $A$ but thickness $d/2$ is then fully inserted between the plates,so that it is always parallel to the plates. How much work has been done on the metal slab by an external agent while it is being inserted?
