    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

    A solid sphere of radius $R$ carries a charge $(Q+q)$ distributed uniformly over its volume. A very small point like piece of it of mass $m$ gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge $q.$ If it acquires a speed $v$ when it has fallen through a vertical height $y$ (see figure), then :

    (assume the remaining portion to be spherical).
