A parallel plate air capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a cell of emf V and

then disconnected from it. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant K, which can
just fill the air gap of the capacitor, is now inserted in it. Which of the following is
incorrect? [AIPMT 2015]

Two charges, each equal to q, are kept at x = – a and x = a on the x-axis. A

particle of mass m and charge q0 = q/2 is placed at the origin. If charge q0 is
given a small displacement (y << a) along the y-axis, the net force acting on the
particle is proportional to [JEE Main 2013]
