उत्तर
Initially when there is vacuum between the two plates, the capacitance of the two parallel plate is, `C_0 = (epsi_0A)/d`where, A is the area of parallel plates.
Suppose, that the capacitor is connected to a battery, an electric field E0 is produced.
Now, if we insert the dielectric slab of thickness `t=d/3`, the electric field reduces to E.
Now the gap between plates is divided in two parts, for distance t there is electric field E and for the remaining distance (d– t) the electric field is E0.
If V be the potential difference between the plates of the capacitor, then V = Et + E0(d–t)
`V = (Ed)/3 + E_0 (d-d/3)=(Ed)/3 +E_0((2d)/3) = d/3 (E +2E_0) (therefore t=d/2)`
`or, V = d/3 (E_0/K +2E_0) (dE_0)/(3K)(2K +1) (As,E_0/E =K)`
Now,`E_0 = σ/epsi_0 = q/(epsi_0A) => V = d/(3K )q/(epsi_0A) (2K +1)`
We know, `C = q/V = (3Kepsi_0A)/(d(2K+1))`

Explain briefly the process of charging a parallel plate capacitor when it is connected across a d.c. battery
A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 107 Vm−1. (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?
