$A$ 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 $\text{ pF}$)

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are charged up to $100\,V$. $A$ $2\,mm$ thick dielectric plate is inserted between the plates. To maintain the same potential difference,the distance between the capacitor plates is increased by $1.6\,mm$. The dielectric constant of the plate is:

$A$ medium having dielectric constant $K > 1$ fills the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The plates have a large area,and the distance between them is $d$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of voltage $V$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. Now,the plates are moved such that the distance between them becomes $2d$,with the dielectric slab of thickness $d$ remaining in between,as shown in Figure $(b)$. In the process of going from the configuration depicted in Figure $(a)$ to that in Figure $(b)$,which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?

$A$ capacitor stores $60 \ \mu C$ charge when connected across a battery. When the gap between the plates is filled with a dielectric,a charge of $120 \ \mu C$ flows through the battery. If the initial capacitance of the capacitor was $2 \ \mu F$,the amount of heat produced when the dielectric is inserted is ... $\mu J$.
