(ii) the heat generated in the circuit,
(iii) the energy supplied by the battery,
(iv) the amount of charge flown through the switch .


Two parallel plate capacitors whose capacities are and respectively, are joined in parallel. These are charged by potential difference. If the battery is now removed and a dielectric of dielectric constant is filled in between the plates of the capacitor , then, what will be the potential difference across each capacitor?

The effective capacitance of the system in the figure given below will be


The capacitance of a parallel capacitor is . If it is half filled with a dielectric of constant , then, the new capacitance will become
