Two parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ each having capacitance of $10 \mu F$ are individually charged by a $100\,V$ $D.C.$ source. Capacitor $C _1$ is kept connected to the source and a dielectric slab is inserted between it plates. Capacitor $C _2$ is disconnected from the source and then a dielectric slab is inserted in it. Afterwards the capacitor $C_1$ is also disconnected from the source and the two capacitors are finally connected in parallel combination. The common potential of the combination will be $.........V.$ (Assuming Dielectric constant $=10$ )

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9\,pF$. The separation between its plates is $'d'$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has dielectric constant $K_1=3$ and thickness $\frac {d}{3}$ while the other one has dielectric constant $K_2 = 6$ and thickness $\frac {2d}{3}$ . Capacitance of the capacitor is now........$pF$

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is $8\,mm$ and $P.D.$ $120\;volts$. If a $6\,mm$ thick slab of dielectric constant $6$ is introduced between its plates, then

The area of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $A$ and the gap between them is $d$. The gap is filled with a non-homogeneous dielectric whose dielectric constant varies with the distance $‘y’$ from one plate as : $K = \lambda \ sec(\pi y/2d)$, where $\lambda $ is a dimensionless constant. The capacitance of this capacitor is
