The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $8\,mm$ and the potential difference $(P.D.)$ is $120\,V$. If a $6\,mm$ thick slab of dielectric constant $K = 6$ is introduced between its plates,then:

  • A
    The charge on the capacitor will be doubled
  • B
    The charge on the capacitor will be reduced to half
  • C
    The $P.D.$ across the capacitor will be $320\,V$
  • D
    The $P.D.$ across the capacitor will be $45\,V$

Write the formula for the capacitance of a capacitor having a dielectric constant $K = 2$.

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 with width $4\,cm$,length $8\,cm$ and separation between the plates of $4\,mm$ is connected to a battery of $20\,V$. $A$ dielectric slab of dielectric constant $5$ having length $1\,cm$,width $4\,cm$ and thickness $4\,mm$ is inserted between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor. The electrostatic energy of this system will be ......... $\epsilon_{0}\,J$. (Where $\epsilon_{0}$ is the permittivity of free space)

Two metal plates each of area $A$ form a parallel plate capacitor with air in between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and of same area $A$ is inserted between the plates to form two capacitors of capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ as shown in the figure. If the effective capacitance of the two capacitors is $C^{\prime}$ and the capacitance of the capacitor initially is $C$,then $\frac{C^{\prime}}{C}$ is

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates. The capacitance will then be
