Prove that if a conducting slab wholly fills the space between the plates, then the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is infinity.

Assertion. Capacity of a parallel plate condenser remains unaffected on introduced a conducting or insulating slab between the plates. Reason. In both the cases, electric field intensity between the plates increases.

A parallel plate capacitor with oil between the plates has a capacitance C(dielectric constant of oil is 2). If the oil is removed, then capacitance of the capacitor becomes
