The capacity of a parallel plate capacitor is $10\,\mu F$ without a dielectric. If a dielectric of constant $K = 2$ is used to fill half the distance between the plates,the new capacitance in $\mu F$ is:

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $13.33$

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, a dielectric plate is introduced to completely fill the space between the plates. The capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the battery. The dielectric plate is slowly drawn out of the capacitor parallel to the plates. The plot of the potential difference $V$ across the plates versus the length $x$ of the dielectric plate drawn out is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $5 \ \mu F$. When a glass plate is inserted between the plates of the capacitor,its potential becomes $1/8$ of its original value. What is the value of the dielectric constant?

Two point charges are kept in air with a separation $r$ between them. The force between them is $F_1$. If half of the space between the charges is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K=4$,the force between them becomes $F_2$. If $1/3$ rd of the space between the charges is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K=9$,then the ratio $F_1/F_2$ is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ 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:
