Q4
Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacity C, two parallel plates of the same material and area same as the plate of the original capacitor, are placed. If the thickness of these plates is equal to {15}th of the distance between the plates of the original capacitor, then the capacity of the new capacitor is :

Q5
The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are charged to 200V and then, the charging battery is disconnected. Now, a dielectric slab of dielectric constant 5 and thickness 4mm is inserted between the capacitor plates. To maintain the original capacity, the increase in the separation between the plates of the capacitor is:
