Question

A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery. The quantities charge, voltage, electric field and energy associated with this capacitor are given by Q0,V0,E0, and U0 respectively. A dielectric slab is now introduced to fill the space between the plates with the battery still in connection. The corresponding quantities now given by Q,V,E and U are related to the previous ones are :

Solution

The correct option is A Q>Q0
As the battery till in connection so potential will remained unchanged. i,e V=V0
E0=V0d and E=Vd=V0dE=E0 where d= separation of plates.
Let initial capacitance =C0
When dielectric slab with dielectric constant K is inserted, the capacitance becomes C=KC0.
Thus, Q0=C0V0 and Q=CV=KC0V0=KQ0Q>Q0 as (K>1)
Also, U0=(1/2)C0V20 and U=(1/2)CV2=(1/2)KC0.V0=KU0
Hence, U>U0
