A$5$
a $(a)$ In air the potential difference between the plates
${V_{air}} = \frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}.d$ ..... $(i)$
In the presence of partially filled medium potential difference between the plates
${V_m} = \frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}(d - t + \frac{t}{K})$ ..... $(ii)$
Potential difference between the plates with dielectric medium and increased distance is
${V_m}' = \frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}\left\{ {(d + d') - t + \frac{t}{K}} \right\}$ ..... $(iii)$
According to question ${V_{air}} = {V_m}'$ which gives $K = \frac{t}{{t - d'}}$
Hence $K = \frac{2}{{2 - 1.6}} = 5$

A capacitor is made of two square plates each of side $a$ making a very small angle $\alpha$ between them, as shown in figure. The capacitance will be close to
Five conducting parallel plates having area $A$ and separation between them $d$, are placed as shown in the figure. Plate number $2$ and $4$ are connected wire and between point $A$ and $B$, a cell of emf $E$ is connected. The charge flown through the cell is
In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop carrying a charge $Q$ is held stationary by a potential difference $2400\,V$ between the plates. To keep a drop of half the radius stationary the potential difference had to be made $600\,V$. What is the charge on the second drop
Two parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ each having capacitance of $10 \mu F$ are individually charged by a $100\,V$ $D.C.$ source. Capacitor $C _1$ is kept connected to the source and a dielectric slab is inserted between it plates. Capacitor $C _2$ is disconnected from the source and then a dielectric slab is inserted in it. Afterwards the capacitor $C_1$ is also disconnected from the source and the two capacitors are finally connected in parallel combination. The common potential of the combination will be $.........V.$ (Assuming Dielectric constant $=10$ )
