A source of potential difference V is connected to the combination of two identical capacitors as shown in the figure. When key 'K' is closed, the total energy stored across the combination is E 1 . Now key 'K' is opened and dielectric of dielectric constant 5 is introduced between the plates of the capacitors. The total energy stored across the combination is now E 2 . The ratio E 1 /E 2 will be:

Verified by ExpertsC

(i) Switch is closed
C eq = 2C
Energy 

(ii) When switch is opened charge on right capacitor remain CV while potential on left capacitor remain same
Dielectric K = 5
C ’ = KC
C ’ =5C
