If the dielectric constant and dielectric strength be denoted by \(k\) and \(x\) respectively, then a material suitable for use as a dielectric in a capacitor must have:
1. high \(k\) and high \(x\).
2. high \(k\) and low \(x\).
3. low \(k\) and low \(x\).
4. low \(k\) and high \(x\).

The insulation property of air breaks down at \(E = 3\times 10^{6}~\text{V/m}\). The maximum charge that can be given to a sphere of diameter \(5\) m is approximately:
1. \(2\times 10^{-5}~\text{C}\)
2. \(2\times 10^{-4}~\text{C}\)
3. \(2\times 10^{-3}~\text{C}\)
4. \(3\times 10^{-3}~\text{C}\)

A parallel plate condenser has a capacitance \(50~\mu\text{F}\) in air and \(110~\mu\text{F}\) when immersed in an oil. The dielectric constant \(k\) of the oil is: 
1. \(0.45\)
2. \(0.55\)
3. \(1.10\)
4. \(2.20\)

The dielectric constant of pure water is \(81\). Its permittivity will be: (in MKS units)
1. \(1.02\times 10^{-13}\)
2. \(8.86\times 10^{-12}\)
3. \(7.17\times 10^{-10}\)
4. \(7.8\times 10^{-10}\)

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with air as a medium is \(6~\mu\text{F}.\) With the introduction of a dielectric medium, the capacitance becomes \(30~\mu\text{F}.\)$$ The permittivity of the medium is:
\(\left(\varepsilon_0=8.85 \times 10^{-12} ~\text{C}^2 \text{N}^{-1} \text{m}^{-2}\right )\)
1. \(1.77 \times 10^{-12}~ \text{C}^2 \text{N}^{-1} \text{m}^{-2}\)
2. \(0.44 \times 10^{-10} ~\text{C}^2 \text{N}^{-1} \text{m}^{-2}\)
3. \(5.00 ~\text{C}^2 \text{N}^{-1} \text{m}^{-2}\)
4. \(0.44 \times 10^{-13} ~\text{C}^2 \text{N}^{-1} \text{m}^{-2}\)

Two identical parallel plate capacitors are placed in series and connected to a constant voltage source of \(V_0\) volt. If one of the capacitors is completely immersed in a liquid with dielectric constant \(K\), the potential difference between the plates of the other capacitor will change to:

1. \(\frac{K +   1}{K} V_{0}\)

2. \(\frac{K}{K +   1} V_{0}\)

3. \(\frac{K +   1}{2 K} V_{0}\)

4. \(\frac{2 K}{K +   1} V_{0}\)
