When a parallel plate capacitor is charged up to $95 \ V$,its capacitance is $C$. If a dielectric slab of thickness $2 \ mm$ is inserted between the plates and the distance between the plates is increased by $1.6 \ mm$ such that the same potential difference is maintained,the dielectric constant of the material (slab) is:

  • A
    $2.4$
  • B
    $4.5$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $9$

Consider the arrangement shown in the figure. The total energy stored is $U_1$ when the key $K$ is closed. Now,the key $K$ is opened,and two dielectric slabs of relative permittivity $\epsilon_r$ are introduced between the plates of the two capacitors. The slabs fit tightly between the plates. The total energy stored is now $U_2$. Then,the ratio $U_1/U_2$ is:

The gap between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of area $A$ and distance between plates $d$ is filled with a dielectric whose permittivity varies linearly from $\varepsilon_1$ at one plate to $\varepsilon_2$ at the other. The capacitance of the capacitor is

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with air as the medium is $3 \mu F$. With the introduction of a dielectric medium between the plates,the capacitance becomes $15 \mu F$. The permittivity of the medium in $SI$ units is: [Given: $\epsilon_{0} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ SI units}$]

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates with area $A$ and separation $d$. $A$ battery charges the plates to a potential difference $V_0$. The battery is then disconnected and a dielectric slab of thickness $d$ is introduced. The ratio of energy stored in the capacitor before and after the slab is introduced,is

The capacitance of an air capacitor is $15\,\mu F$ and the separation between the parallel plates is $6\,mm$. $A$ copper plate of $3\,mm$ thickness is introduced symmetrically between the plates. The capacitance now becomes.........$\mu F$.
