Q1:

A parallel plate capacitor has area of plate A and plate separation d. Its capacitance is C. A metallic plate P of area A and negligible thickness is added as shown in Figure. The new value of capacitance is

A C

B 2C

C 0.5 C

D 0.25 C

ANS:A - C

The new configuration has two capacitors in series and the capacitance of each is 2C.
