1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
A parallel plate capacitor has plates with area $A$ and separation $d$ . A battery charges the plates to a potential difference $V_0$. The battery is then disconnected and a dielectric slab of thickness $d $ is introduced. The ratio of energy stored in the capacitor before and after the slab is introduced is
A
$K$
B
$\frac {1}{K}$
C
$\frac {A}{d^2K}$
D
$\frac {d^2K}{A}$
Solution
$\mathrm{U}=\mathrm{Q}^{2} / 2 \mathrm{C}$
Now, $\quad \mathrm{C}^{\prime}=\mathrm{KC}$
As battery is disconnected, $\mathrm{Q}$ remains unaltered.
So, $U^{\prime}=\frac{Q^{2}}{2 C^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^{2}}{K C}$
$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{U}}{\mathrm{U}^{\prime}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}^{2} / 2 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{Q}^{2} / 2 \mathrm{KC}}=\mathrm{K}$
