Two parallel plate capacitors of capacitances C1 and C2 such that C1=2 C2 are connected across a battery V volts as shown in figure below. Initially the key K is kept closed to fully charge the capacitors. The key is now thrown open and a dielectric slab of dielectric constant k is inserted in the two capacitors to completely fill the gap between the plates. Find the ratio of the net capacitance, before and after the introduction of the dielectric slab.
