Which of the following set of characteristics of a material is suitable for using it as a dielectric in a capacitor?

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 KV using a material of dielectrical constant 3 and dielectric strength about 10^(7) Vm^(-1) . [Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without break down, i.e, without starting to conduct electrically 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 ?

For metals the value of dielectric constant (K) is

The space between parallel plate capacitors is filled with four dielectrics of equal dimensions but of dielectric constants K_(1), K_(2), K_(3)andK_(4) respectively. If K is the dielectric constant of a single dielectric that must be filled between capacitor plates to have the same capacitance between A and B. Then we must have

A capacitor between whose plates there is a dielectric with a dielectric constant e is connected to a DC source. How will the energy stored in the capacitor change if the dielectric is removed? Explain the cause of this change.

In an isolted, charged, parllel-plate air capacitor, the charge per unit area on each plate has a magnitude of sigma . A dielectric slab having the dielectric constant K is now introduced between the plates. The induced charge per unit area on the surface of the dielectric will have magnitude.
