The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by \(d.\) Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(\dfrac{3}{8} d\) and \(\dfrac{d}{2},\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance become two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates.
If \(K_1=1.25 ~K_2,\) the value of \(K_1\) is:
1. \(1.60\)
2. \(1.33\)
3. \(2.66\)
4. \(2.33\)

A dielectric slab of dielectric constant \(3\) having the same area of cross-section as that of a parallel plate capacitor but of thickness \({\frac{3}{4}}^{\text{th}}\) of the separation of the plates is inserted into the capacitor. The ratio of potential difference across the plates without dielectric to that with dielectric is:
1. \(1:2\) 2. \(2:3\)
3. \(3:2\) 4. \(2:1\)

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. \(0.44 \times 10^{-13} ~\text{C}^2 \text{N}^{-1} \text{m}^{-2}\)

A parallel plate capacitor with cross-sectional area \(A\) and separation \(d\) has air between the plates. An insulating slab of the same area but the thickness of \(\dfrac{d}{2}\) is inserted between the plates as shown in the figure, having a dielectric constant, \(K=4.\) The ratio of the new capacitance to its original capacitance will be:

      

1. \(2:1\) 2. \(8:5\)
3. \(6:5\) 4. \(4:1\)
