    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 $=10$ )

    A problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn at $90^o$ corner. This can be done with the electric field present between the parallel plates as shown in the figure. An electron with kinetic energy $8.0 × 10^{-17}\ J$ enters through a small hole in the bottom plate. The strength of electric field that is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole $1.0\ cm$ away from the entrance hole, traveling at right angles to its original direction is $y × 10^5\ N/C$ . The value of $y$ is
