$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air medium between the plates has a capacitance of $10 \mu F$. The area of the capacitor is divided into two equal halves and filled with two media (as shown in the figure) having dielectric constants $K_1=2$ and $K_2=4$. The capacitance of the system will be (in $\mu F$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $80 \times 10^{-6} \ F$ when air is present between the plates. The volume between the plates is then completely filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 20$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of $30 \ V$. The dielectric slab is then removed while the capacitor remains connected to the battery. Calculate the charge that passes through the wire.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by distance $d$ between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as $k(x)=K(1+\alpha x)$ where $x$ is the distance measured from one of the plates. If $(\alpha d) << 1$,the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is immersed in an oil of dielectric constant $K = 2$. The electric field between the plates is:

$A$ capacitor of $10 \mu F$ capacitance,whose plates are separated by $10 \text{ mm}$ through air and each plate has an area of $4 \text{ cm}^2$,is now filled equally with two dielectric media of $K_1=2$ and $K_2=3$ respectively,as shown in the figure. If the new force between the plates is $8 \text{ N}$,the supply voltage is . . . . . . $V$.
