There are two identical capacitors, the first one is uncharged and filled with a dielectric of constant $K$ while the other one is charged to potential $V$ having air between its plates. If two capacitors are joined end to end, the common potential will be

Give examples of polar and non-polar molecules.

A source of potential difference $V$ is connected to the combination of two identical capacitors as shown in the figure. When key ' $K$ ' is closed, the total energy stored across the combination is $E _{1}$. Now key ' $K$ ' is opened and dielectric of dielectric constant 5 is introduced between the plates of the capacitors. The total energy stored across the combination is now $E _{2}$. The ratio $E _{1} / E _{2}$ will be :
