Voltage rating of a parallel plate capacitor is $500\,V$. Its dielectric can withstand a maximum electric field of ${10^6}\,\frac{V}{m}$. The plate area is $10^{-4}\, m^2$ . What is the dielectric constant if the capacitance is $15\, pF$ ? (given ${ \in _0} = 8.86 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,{C^2}\,/N{m^2}$)

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........$pF$

Assertion : If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and dielectric constant is three times, then the capacitance becomes $6\,times$.

Reason : Capacity of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material.
