When a dielectric slab is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor that is connected to a battery,the new charge on the plates is:

  • A
    less than the initial charge.
  • B
    equal to the initial charge.
  • C
    greater than the initial charge.
  • D
    dependent on the nature of the material inserted.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 \, pF$. The separation between its plates is $d$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has dielectric constant $K_1 = 3$ and thickness $d/3$,while the other one has dielectric constant $K_2 = 6$ and thickness $2d/3$. The capacitance of the capacitor is now.........$pF$.

Two identical condensers $M$ and $N$ are connected in series with a battery. The space between the plates of $M$ is completely filled with a dielectric medium of dielectric constant $8$,and a copper plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates of $N$ ($d$ is the distance between the plates). Then the potential differences across $M$ and $N$ are,respectively,in the ratio:

$A$ capacitor is charged. When a dielectric slab of thickness $t = 4 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ is inserted between the plates,the distance between the plates has to be increased by $d' = 3.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ to maintain the same voltage. What is the dielectric constant $K$ of the dielectric?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ has spacing $d$ between two plates having area $A$. The region between the plates is filled with $N$ dielectric layers,parallel to its plates,each with thickness $\delta = \frac{d}{N}$. The dielectric constant of the $m^{\text{th}}$ layer is $K_m = K(1 + \frac{m}{N})$. For a very large $N (> 10^3)$,the capacitance $C$ is $\alpha \left( \frac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d \ln 2} \right)$. The value of $\alpha$ will be. . . . . . . .
