$A$ parallel plate capacitor $C$ with plates of unit area and separation $d$ is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $K=2$. The initial level of the liquid is $\frac{d}{3}$. Suppose the liquid level decreases at a constant speed $V$. Find the time constant $\tau$ as a function of time $t$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $0.4 \pi \,m^2$ and spacing of $0.5 \,mm$. If a slab of thickness $0.5 \,mm$ and dielectric constant $4.5$ is introduced in between the plates of the capacitor, then the capacitance of the capacitor is

In a parallel plate capacitor,the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now,a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $K = 2$ is introduced between the plates,due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity back to the original value,the separation between the plates must be increased to......$mm$. (in $.5$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two plates of length $l$,width $w$ and separated by distance $d$. $A$ dielectric slab (dielectric constant $K$) that fits exactly between the plates is held near the edge of the plates. It is pulled into the capacitor by a force $F = -\frac{\partial U}{\partial x}$ where $U$ is the energy of the capacitor when the dielectric is inside the capacitor up to distance $x$ (See figure). If the charge on the capacitor is $Q$,then the force on the dielectric when it is near the edge is
