A capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. A dielectric slab is then slipped between the plates, which results in
Reduction of charge on the plates and increase of potential difference across the plates
Increase in the potential difference across the plate, reduction in stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates
Decrease in the potential difference across the plates, reduction in the stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates
None of the above
An air capacitor is connected to a battery. The effect of filling the space between the plates with a dielectric is to increase
Eight small drops, each of radius $r$ and having same charge $q$ are combined to form a big drop. The ratio between the potentials of the bigger drop and the smaller drop is
The dielectric constant $k$ of an insulator cannot be
A parallel plate capacitor of area $A$, plate separation $d$ and capacitance $C$ is filled with three different dielectric materials having dielectric constants ${k_1},{k_2}$ and ${k_3}$ as shown. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance $C$ in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant $k$ is given by
A parallel plate capacitor is first charged and then a dielectric slab is introduced between the plates. The quantity that remains unchanged is
