If a slab of insulating material $4 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ thick is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between the plates has to be increased by $3.5 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ to restore the capacity to its original value. The dielectric constant of the material will be:

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $12$

If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and the dielectric constant is doubled,then the capacitance:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C_1$ with a dielectric slab in between its plates is connected to a battery. It has a potential difference $V_1$ across its plates. When the dielectric slab is removed,keeping the capacitor connected to the battery,the new capacitance and potential difference are $C_2$ and $V_2$ respectively. Then:
