$A$ parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ is charged to a potential $V$ and then the battery is disconnected. $A$ slab of dielectric constant $k$ is then inserted between the plates of the capacitor so as to fill the space between the plates. If $Q$,$E$,and $W$ denote respectively the magnitude of charge on each plate,the electric field between the plates (after the slab is inserted),and the work done on the system in the process of inserting the slab,then state the incorrect relation from the following:

In the circuit shown in the following figure,the potential difference across the $3 \mu F$ capacitor is: (in $V$)

$A$ capacitor $C_1 = 1.0 \, \mu F$ is charged up to a voltage $V = 60 \, V$ by connecting it to a battery $B$ through switch $(1)$. Now,$C_1$ is disconnected from the battery and connected to a circuit consisting of two uncharged capacitors $C_2 = 3.0 \, \mu F$ and $C_3 = 6.0 \, \mu F$ in series through a switch $(2)$ as shown in the figure. The sum of the final charges on $C_2$ and $C_3$ is ...... $\mu C$.

Two capacitors $C_1 = 4\ \mu F$ and $C_2 = 2\ \mu F$ are charged to the same potential $V = 500\ V$,but with opposite polarity as shown in the figure. The switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ are closed. Determine the correct statement.

An automobile spring extends by $0.2\ m$ for a load of $5000\ N$. What is the ratio of the potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed by $0.2\ m$ to the potential energy stored in a $10\ \mu F$ capacitor at a potential difference of $10000\ V$?
