A capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and they are $0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and $0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $\left.\in_0=8.834 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~F} / \mathrm{m}\right)$
  • A$1.50$
  • B$1.33$

    A parallel-plate capacitor consists of a fixed plate and a movable plate that is allowed to slide in the direction parallel to the plates. Let $x$ be the distance of overlap, as shown in the figure. The separation between the plates is fixed. Assume that the plates are electrically isolated, so that their charges $±Q$ are constant. Force on the movable plate is proportional to

    Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

    Assertion $A:$ Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential. One of them is hollow and another is solid, and both have the same radii. Solid sphere will have lower charge than the hollow one.

    Reason $R:$ Capacitance of metallic spheres depend on the radii of spheres.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
