Figure given below shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery with switch $S$ closed. The switch is now opened and the free space between the plate of capacitors is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $3$. What will be the ratio of total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ has spacing $d$ between two plates having area $A$. The region between the plates is filled with $N$ dielectric layers, parallel to its plates, each with thickness $\delta=\frac{ d }{ N }$. The dielectric constant of the $m ^{\text {th }}$ layer is $K _{ m }= K \left(1+\frac{ m }{ N }\right)$. For a very large $N \left(>10^3\right)$, the capacitance $C$ is $\alpha\left(\frac{ K \varepsilon_0 A }{ d \;ln 2}\right)$. The value of $\alpha$ will be. . . . . . . .

An air filled parallel plate capacitor has capacity $C$. If distance between plates is doubled and it is immersed in a liquid then capacity becomes twice. Dielectric constant of the liquid is

Assertion : A parallel plate capacitor is connected across battery through a key. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ is introduced between the plates. The energy which is stored becomes $K$ times.

Reason : The surface density of charge onthe plate remains constant or unchanged.
