Half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ parallel to the plates. If the initial capacitance is $C$,what will be the new (final) capacitance?

  • A
    $\frac{2KC}{1 + K}$
  • B
    $\frac{C(K + 1)}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{KC}{1 + K}$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates $d$,plate area $A$,and material with dielectric constant $K$ has capacitance $C_0$. Now,one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant $2K$,such that effectively there are two capacitors: one with area $\frac{1}{3}A$,dielectric constant $2K$,and another with area $\frac{2}{3}A$ and dielectric constant $K$. If the capacitance of this new capacitor is $C$,then $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

$A$ capacitor of capacitance $20 \ \mu F$ has a distance of $2 \ mm$ between its plates. If a dielectric slab of thickness $1 \ mm$ and dielectric constant $K = 2$ is inserted between the plates,the new capacitance will be ..... $\mu F$.

Two identical condensers are joined as shown in the figure. When the switch $S$ is closed,the total energy of the system is $U_1$. If the switch is opened and both the condensers are filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$,then the energy of the system becomes $U_2$. The value of $\frac{U_1}{U_2}$ is

Two parallel plate capacitors of capacity $C$ and $3C$ are connected in parallel and charged to a potential difference of $18V$. The battery is then disconnected,and the space between the plates of the capacitor of capacity $C$ is completely filled with a material of dielectric constant $K=9$. The final potential difference across the combination of capacitors will be $V^{\prime}$. Find $V^{\prime}$. (in $V$)
