The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by a distance $d.$ Two slabs of different dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ with thicknesses $\frac{3}{8} d$ and $\frac{d}{2}$ respectively are inserted into the capacitor. Due to this,the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If $K_1 = 1.25 K_2,$ find the value of $K_1.$

  • B
    $2.33$
  • C
    $1.60$
  • D

$A$ 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:

Two identical capacitors $1$ and $2$ are connected in series. Capacitor $2$ contains a dielectric slab of constant $K$ as shown. They are connected to a battery of emf $V_0 \text{ volts}$. The dielectric slab is then removed. Let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be the charges stored in the capacitors before removing the slab,and $Q'_1$ and $Q'_2$ be the values after removing the slab. Then:
