$A$ parallel plate capacitor is constructed with two plates. Each plate has an area of $100 \ cm^2$ and they are separated by a distance of $1 \ mm$. $A$ dielectric with a dielectric constant of $5.0$ and a dielectric strength of $1.9 \times 10^7 \ V/m$ is filled between the plates. Find the maximum charge that can be stored on the capacitor without causing dielectric breakdown.

The energy and capacity of a charged parallel plate capacitor are $U$ and $C$ respectively. Now a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 6$ is inserted in it. Then,the new energy and capacity become (Assume the charge on the plates remains constant).

The outer sphere of a spherical air capacitor is earthed. For increasing its capacitance:

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

The figure shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery and a closed switch $S$. Now,the switch is opened and a dielectric material with dielectric constant $K = 3$ is inserted into the free space between the plates of both capacitors. What is the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the insertion of the dielectric?
