2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium
Two condensers of capacities $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged upto potential $V$. The battery is removed and the condenser of capacity $C$ is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The $p.d.$ across the capacitors will now be
A
$\frac{{3V}}{{K + 2}}$
B
$\frac{{3V}}{K}$
C
$\frac{V}{{K + 2}}$
D
$\frac{V}{K}$
(IIT-1988)
Solution
(a) ${q_1} = 2CV,$ ${q_2} = CV$
Now condenser of capacity $C$ is filled with dielectric $K$, therefore $C_2 = KC$
As charge is conserved
${q_1} + {q_2} = (C'_2+ 2C)V'$ $==>$ $V' = \frac{{3CV}}{{(K + 2)C}} = \frac{{3V}}{{K + 2}}$
