When air in a capacitor is replaced by a medium of dielectric constant $K$,the capacity

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is filled with two dielectrics as shown in the figure. The area of each plate is $A \; m^2$ and the separation between the plates is $t \; m$. The dielectric constants are $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. Its capacitance in farad will be:

The capacity of an air-filled parallel plate capacitor is $C_0$. One-half of the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of constant $K$ as shown in the figure. The new capacity becomes $C_n$. The ratio of $C_n$ to $C_0$ is:

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).

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and capacity $0.025 \mu F$,a metal plate of area $A$ and thickness equal to $1/3$ of the separation between the plates of the capacitor is introduced. If the capacitor is charged to $100 \ V$,then the amount of work done to remove the metal plate from the capacitor is (in $\mu J$)
