A series combination of $n_1$ capacitors, each of value $C_1$ is charged by a source of potential difference $4\, V.$ When another parallel combination of $n_2$ capacitors, each of value $C_2,$ is charged by a source of potential difference $V$, it has the same (total) energy stored in it, as the first combination has. The value of $C_2,$ in terms of $C_1$ is then
  • A$\frac{{2{C_1}}}{{{n_1}{n_2}}}$
  • B$16$ $\frac{{{n_2}}}{{{n_1}}}\;{C_1}$
  • C$2$ $\frac{{{n_2}}}{{{n_1}}}\;{C_1}$
  • D$\;\frac{{16{C_1}}}{{{n_1}{n_2}}}$

    A parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by distance $d$ between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as $\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{K}(1+\alpha \mathrm{x})$ where $\mathrm{x}$ is the distance measured from one of the plates. If $(\alpha \text {d)}<<1,$ the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression
