Consider a parallel plate capacitor with plates in the shape of a square in the $XY$-plane. The gap between the plates is filled with a dielectric material. The dielectric constant $k$ varies along the $X$-axis as $k(x) = \left[1 + \left(\frac{x}{L}\right)^\alpha\right]$,where $\alpha$ is a constant. Let $C_d$ and $C_a$ be the capacitance in the presence of the dielectric and air,respectively. If the ratio $\frac{C_d}{C_a} = \frac{7}{6}$,then the value of $\alpha$ must be

Which one statement is correct? $A$ parallel plate air condenser is connected to a battery. Its charge,potential,electric field,and energy are ${Q_0}$,${V_0}$,${E_0}$,and ${U_0}$ respectively. $A$ dielectric slab is inserted to fill the complete space between the plates while the battery remains connected. Now,the corresponding values $Q$,$V$,$E$,and $U$ are related to the initial values as:

$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of $10 \ \mu F$. As shown in the figure,if this capacitor is divided into two equal parts and these parts are filled with dielectric materials of dielectric constants $K_1 = 2$ and $K_2 = 4$,then the capacitance of this arrangement is ............. $\mu F$.

In the figure,a capacitor is filled with dielectrics. The resultant capacitance is

$A$ capacitor of capacitance $C = 10 \ \mu F$ is connected to a $12 \ V$ battery. When a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 5$ is inserted between its plates,how much additional charge (in $\mu C$) will flow from the battery to the capacitor?
