$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance $C$. The distance between the two plates is halved and the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric medium. If the new capacitance is $3C$,what is the dielectric constant of the medium?

Two identical condensers $M$ and $N$ are connected in series with a battery. The space between the plates of $M$ is completely filled with a dielectric medium of dielectric constant $8$,and a copper plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates of $N$ ($d$ is the distance between the plates). Then the potential differences across $M$ and $N$ are,respectively,in the ratio:

The capacity of an air-filled parallel plate capacitor is $C_0$. One-half of the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of constant $K$ as shown in the figure. The new capacity becomes $C_n$. The ratio of $C_n$ to $C_0$ is:

$A$ 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
