A parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $100\,V$ and disconnected from the source of $emf$ . A slab of dielectric is then inserted between the plates. Which of the following three quantities change?
$(i)$ The potential difference
$(ii)$ The capacitance
$(iii)$ The charge on the plates
Assertion : A parallel plate capacitor is connected across battery through a key. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ is introduced between the plates. The energy which is stored becomes $K$ times.
Reason : The surface density of charge onthe plate remains constant or unchanged.
If the dielectric constant and dielectric strength be denoted by $k$ and $x$ respectively, then a material suitable for use as a dielectric in a capacitor must have
A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed, using a dielectric of dielectric constant $5$, so as to have a dielectric strength of $10^9\;Vm^{-1}$ . If the voltage rating of the capacitor is $12\;kV$, the minimum area of each plate required to have a capacitance of $80\;pF$ is
After charging a capacitor the battery is removed. Now by placing a dielectric slab between the plates :-
