Two point charges are kept in air with a separation $r$ between them. The force between them is $F_1$. If half of the space between the charges is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K=4$,the force between them becomes $F_2$. If $1/3$ rd of the space between the charges is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K=9$,then the ratio $F_1/F_2$ is:

  • A
    $27/64$
  • B
    $16/81$
  • C
    $81/64$
  • D
    $100/81$

In one design of a capacitor,thin sheets of metal of area $80 \ mm \times 80 \ mm$ sandwich between them a piece of paper whose thickness is $40 \ \mu m$. The relative permittivity of the paper is $4.0$ and its dielectric strength is $20 \ MVm^{-1}$. Calculate the maximum charge that can be put on the capacitor. [Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12} \ Fm^{-1}$]

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric whose dielectric constant varies with distance $x$ as per the relation: $K(x) = K_0 + \lambda x$ (where $\lambda$ is a constant). The capacitance $C$ of the capacitor would be related to its vacuum capacitance $C_0$ by the relation:

When a capacitor is filled with a dielectric constant $K = 3$,the charge is $Q_0$,voltage is $V_0$,and electric field is $E_0$. If the capacitor is now filled with a dielectric constant $K = 9$,what will be the new charge,voltage,and electric field respectively?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance $C$. If the distance between the plates is doubled and the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $6$,then the capacitance will become

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a resistanceless circuit with a battery until the capacitor is fully charged. The battery is then disconnected from the circuit and the plates of the capacitor are moved to half of their original separation using insulated gloves. Let $V_{new}$ be the potential difference across the capacitor plates when the plates have moved. Let $V_{old}$ be the potential difference across the capacitor plates when they were connected to the battery. Find the ratio $\frac{V_{new}}{V_{old}}$.
