Important Questions on Force on a Dielectric Slab

EASY
IMPORTANT

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor becomes 43 times its original value, if a dielectric slab of thickness t=d2 is inserted between the plates [d is the separation between the plates]. The dielectric constant of the slab is

We have a parallel plate air capacitor of separation $d$ and the length and width of the plates are L and b respectively. It is connected to a cell of emf E Fig. A dielectric slab of

mass m has the same dimension as the inner dimensions of the capacitor. We insert the slab into the space between the capacitor slowly upon a distance l and then release it from rest. Show that in absence of friction it oscillates about that position and find the time-period.
