A parallel plate capacitor is made of two square parallel plates of area $A$ , and separated by a distance $d < < \sqrt A $ . The capacitor is connected to a battery with potential $V$ and allowed to fully charge. The battery is then disconnected. A square metal conducting slab also with area $A$ but thickness $\frac {d}{2}$ is then fully inserted between the plates, so that it is always parallel to the plates. How much work has been done on the metal slab by external agent while it is being inserted?
A$ + \frac{1}{4}\,\frac{{{ \in _0}A}}{d}{V^2}$
B$ - \frac{1}{2}\,\frac{{{ \in _0}A}}{d}{V^2}$
C$ + \frac{1}{2}\,\frac{{{ \in _0}A}}{d}{V^2}$
D$ - \frac{1}{4}\,\frac{{{ \in _0}A}}{d}{V^2}$

An electric dipole is placed as shown in the figure.The electric potential (in $10^2\,V$ ) at point $P$ due to the dipole is $\left(\epsilon_0=\right.$ permittivity of free space and $\left.\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=K\right)$ :
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.
A $2\,\mu F$ Capacitor is charged as shown in the figure. The percentage of its store energy dissipated after the switch $S$ is turned to position $2$, is.....$\%$
A uniformly charged solid sphere of radius $R$ has potential $V_0$ (measured with respect to $\infty$) on its surface. For this sphere the equipotential surfaces with potentials $\frac{{3{V_0}}}{2},\;\frac{{5{V_0}}}{4},\;\frac{{3{V_0}}}{4}$ and $\frac{{{V_0}}}{4}$ have rasius $R_1,R_2,R_3$ and $R_4$ respectively. Then
A capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged with the help of a $200 \,V$ battery. It is then discharged through a small coil of resistance wire embedded in a thermally insulated block of specific heat capacity $2.5 \times 10^2 \,J / kg$ and mass $0.1 \,kg$. If the temperature of the block rises by $0.4 \,K$, the value of $C$ is
