In a parallel plate capacitor, the radius of each circular plate is $12\,cm$ and the distance between the plates is $5\,mm$. A glass slab of $3\,mm$ thickness and radius $12\,cm$ with a dielectric constant of $6$ is placed between the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor will be:

  • A
    $144 \times 10^{-9}\,F$
  • B
    $40\,pF$
  • C
    $160\,pF$
  • D
    $1.44\,\mu F$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor whose capacitance $C$ is $14 \, pF$ is charged by a battery to a potential difference $V = 12 \, V$ between its plates. The charging battery is now disconnected and a porcelain plate with dielectric constant $k = 7$ is inserted between the plates. The plate would oscillate back and forth between the plates with a constant mechanical energy of $.......... pJ$. (Assume no friction)

Two identical parallel plate air capacitors are connected in series to a battery of emf $V$. If one of the capacitors is completely filled with a dielectric material of constant $K$,then the potential difference across the other capacitor will become:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $15 \, pF$.
