IMPORTANT
The potential difference between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is 200 V The area of each plate is 100 cm2 And the distance between them is 1 mm. If the medium between them is air, then calculate the charge taken by the capacitor. IF there is a medium of dielectric constant 2.5 Between the plates, then what will be the potential difference for the same charge?

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is completely filled in two ways. In the first case, it is filled with a slab of dielectric constant K. In the second case, it is filled with two slabs of equal thickness and dielectric constants K1 and K2 respectively as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the capacitor is same in the two cases. Obtain the relationship between K, K1 and K2.
