Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is $V_2 - V_1 = 20\ V$. (i.e., plate $2$ is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by $d = 0.1\ m$ and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate $1. $ What is its speed when it hits plate $2?$

${e V=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}}$

${\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2 e V}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 20}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}}}$

    A parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ is charged to potential $V$ and then the battery is disconnected. A slab of dielectric constant $k$ is then inserted between the plates of the capacitors 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 work done on the system in question in the process of inserting the slab, then state incorrect relation from the following
