The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $0.05\, m$. An electric field of $3 \times 10^4\, V/m$ is established between the plates. The capacitor is disconnected from the battery,and an uncharged metal plate of thickness $0.01\, m$ is inserted. If a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 2$ is inserted instead of the metal plate,what will be the potential difference in $kV$?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the source of potential difference. If the plates of the capacitor are then moved farther apart by the use of an insulated handle,which one of the following is true?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ between its plates that covers $1/3$ of the area of its plates,as shown in the figure. The total capacitance of the capacitor is $C$ while that of the portion with dielectric in between is $C_1$. When the capacitor is charged,the plate area covered by the dielectric gets charge $Q_1$ and the rest of the area gets charge $Q_2$. Choose the correct option/options,ignoring edge effects.
$(A)$ $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=1$ $(B)$ $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{1}{K}$ $(C)$ $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\frac{K}{2}$ $(D)$ $\frac{C}{C_1}=\frac{2+K}{K}$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance $C$. If the distance between the plates is doubled and the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $6$,then the capacitance will become
