2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

There are two identical capacitors, the first one is uncharged and filled with a dielectric of constant $K$ while the other one is charged to potential $V$ having air between its plates. If two capacitors are joined end to end, the common potential will be

A

$\frac{V}{K-1}$

B

$\frac{K V}{K+1}$

C

$\frac{K V}{K-1}$

D

$\frac{V}{K+1}$

Solution

(d)

$V^{\prime}=\frac{K C(0)+C V}{K C+C}$

$V^{\prime}=\frac{C V}{C(1+K)}$

$V^{\prime}=\frac{V}{1+K}$
