The plates of a capacitor are charged to potential difference of $V\, volts$ and then  connected across a resistor. The potential difference across the capacitor decreases  exponentially with respect to time. After one second, the potential difference between the  plates is $V/3$; then after two seconds from the start, the potential difference between the  plates is
  • A$\frac{2V}{3}$
  • B$\frac{V}{6}$
  • C$\frac{V}{9}$
  • D$\frac{V}{3}$

    A parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and plate seperation $d$ is charged to potential difference $V$ and then the battery is disconnected. Aslab of dielectric constant $K$ is then inserted between the plates of the capacitor so as to fill the space between the plates. If $Q, E$ and $W$ denote respectively, the magnitude of charge on each plate, the electric field between the plates (after the slab is inserted) and the work done on the system, in question, in the process of inserting the slab, then
