Consider the arrangement shown in the figure. The total energy stored is $U_1$ when the key $K$ is closed. Now,the key $K$ is opened,and two dielectric slabs of relative permittivity $\epsilon_r$ are introduced between the plates of the two capacitors. The slabs fit tightly between the plates. The total energy stored is now $U_2$. Then,the ratio $U_1/U_2$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{2\epsilon_r}{1 + \epsilon_r^2}$
  • B
    $\epsilon_r$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\epsilon_r}$
  • D
    $\frac{\epsilon_r}{1 + \epsilon_r}$

$A$ capacitor is connected to a $10\,V$ battery. The charge on the plates is $10\,\mu C$ when the medium between the plates is air. The charge on the plates becomes $100\,\mu C$ when the space between the plates is filled with oil. The dielectric constant of the oil is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two square parallel plates of area $A$,and separated by a distance $d << \sqrt{A}$. The capacitor is connected to a battery with potential $V$ and allowed to fully charge. The battery is then disconnected. $A$ square metal conducting slab also with area $A$ but thickness $d/2$ is then fully inserted between the plates,so that it is always parallel to the plates. How much work has been done on the metal slab by an external agent while it is being inserted?
