Three identical capacitors $\mathrm{C}_1, \mathrm{C}_2$ and $\mathrm{C}_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu \mathrm{F}$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $\mathrm{C}_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0=8 \mathrm{~V}$. First the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged, $S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium, the charge on $\mathrm{C}_3$ is found to be $5 \mu \mathrm{C}$. The value of $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}=$. . . .
