There are two identical capacitors, the first one is uncharged and filled with a dielectric of constant $K$ while the other one is charged to potential $V$ having air between its plates. If two capacitors are joined end to end, the common potential will be

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is $5\, \mu F$ . When a glass slab of thickness equal to the separation between the plates is introduced between the plates, the potential difference reduces to $1/8$ of the original value. The dielectric constant of glass is
