Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, a dielectric plate is introduced to completely fill the space between the plates. The capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the battery. The dielectric plate is slowly drawn out of the capacitor parallel to the plates. The plot of the potential difference $V$ across the plates versus the length $x$ of the dielectric plate drawn out 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 plates of a parallel plate capacitor are charged up to $200 \ V$. $A$ dielectric slab of thickness $4 \ mm$ is inserted between its plates. Then,to maintain the same potential difference between the plates of the capacitor,the distance between the plates is increased by $3.2 \ mm$. The dielectric constant of the dielectric slab is

$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has capacity $C$ and distance of separation between plates is $d$. If a conducting sheet of thickness $\frac{2d}{3}$ is inserted between the plates,the capacitance becomes $C_1$. The ratio of $\frac{C_1}{C}$ is (in $:1$)
