Three identical capacitors C 1 , C 2 and C 3 have a capacitance of 1.0
F each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and C 1 is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity
. The cell electromotive force (emf) V 0 = 8K First the switch S 1 is closed K while the switch S 2 is kept open. When the capacitor C 3 is fully charged, S 1 is opened and S 2 is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium, the charge on C 3 is found to be 5
C. The value of
=_________.

(1.50)
After S 1 is closed, C 3 has charge 8
C. when S 1 opened and S 2 closed, C 3 has charge 5
C. so remaining 3
C resides on C 1 and C 2
