Two identical parallel plate capacitors are connected in parallel combination. Total charge on capacitors is $Q_{0}$. If one of the capacitors is kept in a dielectric medium of constant $k,$ then the total charge on both the capacitors will change to (P.D. across them is kept constant.)
$\frac{kQ_{0}}{(1+k)}$
$\frac{(1+k) Q_{0}}{2}$
