2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy
A capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. A dielectric slab is then slipped between the plates, which results in
A
Reduction of charge on the plates and increase of potential difference across the plates
B
Increase in the potential difference across the plate, reduction in stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates
C
Decrease in the potential difference across the plates, reduction in the stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates
D
None of the above
Solution
(c) Battery in disconnected so $Q$ will be constant as $C \propto \,K$. So with introduction of dielectric slab capacitance will increase using $Q = CV$, $V$ will decrease and using $U = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{2C}}$, energy will decrease.
