The figure shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery and a closed switch $S$. Now,the switch is opened and a dielectric material with dielectric constant $K = 3$ is inserted into the free space between the plates of both capacitors. What is the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the insertion of the dielectric?

The dielectric slab is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate charged capacitor. Which one of the following quantities will not change?

$A$ 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

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has two layers of dielectric as shown in the figure. This capacitor is connected across a battery. The graph between electric field $(E)$ and distance $(x)$ from the left plate will be:
