$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity $80 \times 10^{-6} \,F$, when air is present between the plates. The volume between the plates is then completely filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $20$. The capacitor is now connected to a battery of $30 \,V$ by wires. The dielectric slab is then removed. Then, the charge that passes now through the wire is

An air capacitor has capacitance $C_1$. The space between the two plates of the capacitor is filled with two dielectrics as shown in the figure. The new capacitance of the capacitor is $C_2$. The ratio $\frac{C_1}{C_2}$ is ($d=$ distance between two plates of the capacitor,$K_1$ and $K_2$ are dielectric constants of the two dielectrics respectively).

The voltage rating of a parallel plate capacitor is $500\,V$. Its dielectric can withstand a maximum electric field of $10^6\,V/m$. The plate area is $10^{-4}\,m^2$. What is the dielectric constant if the capacitance is $15\,pF$? (Given $\epsilon_0 = 8.86 \times 10^{-12}\,C^2/Nm^2$)
