Two capacitors of capacities $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged up to potential $V$. The battery is removed and the capacitor of capacity $C$ is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The potential difference across the capacitors will now be

  • A
    $\frac{3 V}{K}$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 V}{K+2}$
  • D

The parallel combination of two air-filled parallel plate capacitors of capacitance $C$ and $nC$ is connected to a battery of voltage $V$. When the capacitors are fully charged,the battery is removed,and after that,a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the two plates of the first capacitor. The new potential difference of the combined system is

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 \ pF$. The separation between its plates is $d$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has a dielectric constant $K_1 = 6$ and thickness $\frac{d}{3}$,while the other one has a dielectric constant $K_2 = 12$ and thickness $\frac{2d}{3}$. The capacitance of the capacitor is now ......... $pF$.
