As shown in the figure below, to concentric conducting spherical shells, centred at r = 0 and having radii r = c and r = d are maintained at potentials such that the potential V(r) at r = c is V1 and V(r) at r = d is V2. Assume that V(r) depends only on r, where r is the radial distance. The expression for V(r) in the region between r = c and r = d is

Consider a large parallel plate capacitor. The gap $d$ between the two plates is filled entirely with a dielectric slab of relative permittivity 5 . The plates are initially charged to a potential difference of V volts and then disconnected from the source. If the dielectric slab is pulled out completely, then the ratio of the new electric field $E_2$ in the gap to the original electric field $E_1$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
