d (d) ${C_{air}} = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}$, with dielectric slab $C'=$ $\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{{\left( {d - t + \frac{t}{K}} \right)}}$
Given $C' = \frac{4}{3}C \Rightarrow $$\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{{\left( {d - t + \frac{t}{K}} \right)}} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}$
$ \Rightarrow K = \frac{{4t}}{{4t - d}} = \frac{{4(d/2)}}{{4[(d/2) - d]}} = 2$

A metal ball of radius $R$ is placed concentrically inside a hollow metal sphere of inner radius $2R $ and outer radius $3R$. The ball is given a charge $+2Q$ and the hollow sphere a total charge $- Q$. The electrostatic potential energy of this system is :
In the circuit shown here ${C_1} = 6\,\mu F,\;{C_2} = 3\,\mu F$ and battery $B = 20\,V$. The switch ${S_1}$ is first closed. It is then opened and afterwards ${S_2}$ is closed. What is the charge finally on ${C_2}$.......$\mu C$
In moving from $A$ to $B$ along an electric field line, the electric field does $6.4 \times {10^{ - 19}}\,J$ of work on an electron. If ${\phi _1},\;{\phi _2}$ are equipotential surfaces, then the potential difference $({V_C} - {V_A})$ is.....$V$
In order to obtain a time constant of $10$ seconds in an $RC$ circuit containing a resistance of $10^3\,\Omega,$ the capacity of a condenser should be.....$ \mu F$
Capacitance of an isolated conducting sphere of radius $R_{1}$ becomes $n$ times when it is enclosed by a concentric conducting sphere of radius $R_{2}$ connected to earth. The ratio of their radii $\left(\frac{ R _{2}}{ R _{1}}\right)$ is:
Two spherical conductors each of capacity $C$ are charged to potentials $V$ and $ - V$. These are then connected by means of a fine wire. The loss of energy will be
