A dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor carrying charge $q$. The induced charge $q^{\prime}$ on the surface of slab is given by
  • A$q^{\prime}=q-\frac{q}{K}$
  • B$q^{\prime}=-q+\frac{q}{K}$
  • C$q^{\prime}=q\left[\frac{1}{K}+1\right]$
  • D$q^{\prime}=-q\left(1+\frac{1}{K}\right)$

    The distance between two plates of a capacitor is $d$ and its capacitance is $C _1$, when air is the medium between the plates. If a metal sheet of thickness $\frac{2 d }{3}$ and of same area as plate is introduced between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor becomes $C _2$. The ratio $\frac{ C _2}{ C _1}$ is:
