The parallel combination of two air filled parallel plate capacitors of capacitance \(C\) and \(nC\) is connected to a battery of voltage, \(V\). When the capacitors are fully charged, the battery is removed and after that a dielectric material of dielectric constant \(K\) is placed between the two plates of the first capacitors. The new potential difference of the combined system is: 
1. \( \frac{V}{K+n} \)
2. \(\frac{n V}{K+n} \)
3. \(\frac{(n+1) V}{(K+n)} \)

Two identical parallel plate capacitors, of capacitance \(C\) each, have plates of area \(A\), separated by a distance \(d\). The space between the plates of the two capacitors is filled with three dielectrics, of equal thickness and dielectric constants \(K_1,K_2\) and \(K_3\). The first capacitor is filled as shown in Fig \(\mathrm{I}\), and the second one is filled as shown in Fig \(\mathrm{II}\).
If these two modified capacitors are charged by the same potential \(V\), the ratio of the energy stored in the two, would be (\(E_1\) refers to capacitor (\(\mathrm{I}\)) and \(E_2\) to capacitor (\(\mathrm{II}\))):

                         
1. \(\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{(K_1+K_2+K_3)(K_3K_1+K_2K_3+K_2K_1)}{K_1K_2K_3}\)

3. \(\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{(K_1+K_2+K_3)(K_3K_1+K_2K_3+K_2K_1)}{9K_1K_2K_3}\)

4. \(\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{9K_1K_2K_3}{(K_1+K_2+K_3)(K_3K_1+K_2K_3+K_2K_1)}\)
