Two metallic plates form a parallel plate capacitor. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal sheet of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and of area equal to the area of each plate is introduced between the plates. What will be the ratio of the new capacitance to the original capacitance of the capacitor?

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $1: 2$
  • C
    $1: 4$
  • D
    $4: 1$

Which one statement is correct? $A$ parallel plate air condenser is connected to a battery. Its charge,potential,electric field,and energy are ${Q_0}$,${V_0}$,${E_0}$,and ${U_0}$ respectively. $A$ dielectric slab is inserted to fill the complete space between the plates while the battery remains connected. Now,the corresponding values $Q$,$V$,$E$,and $U$ are related to the initial values as:

$A$ capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. $A$ dielectric slab is then inserted between the plates. What is the result?

The capacity of a parallel plate capacitor is $5\,\mu F$. When a glass plate is placed between the plates of the capacitor,its potential becomes $1/8^{th}$ of the original value. The value of the dielectric constant will be

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor of plate area $10 \text{ cm}^2$ and plate separation $3 \text{ mm}$ is charged to a potential difference $12 \text{ V}$ and then the battery is disconnected. $A$ slab of dielectric constant $3$ is then inserted between the plates. The work done on the system in the process of inserting the slab is $\alpha \varepsilon_0$. The value of $\alpha$ is (Take $\varepsilon_0$ as the permittivity of free space).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery. The quantities charge,voltage,electric field,and energy associated with the capacitor are given by $Q_0, V_0, E_0$,and $U_0$ respectively. $A$ dielectric slab is introduced between the plates of the capacitor,but the battery remains connected. The corresponding quantities now given by $Q, V, E$,and $U$ related to the previous ones are:
