New Capacitance in Dielectric

Two identical...

Question

Two identical capacitors $1$ and $2$ are connected in series to a battery as shown in figure. Capacitor $2$ contains a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $k$ as shown. $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{2}$ are the charges stored in the capacitors. Now the dielectric slab is removed and the corresponding charges are $Q_{1}^{'}$ and $Q_{2}^{'}$ .
Then

\frac{Q_{1}^{'}}{Q_{1}} = \frac{k + 1}{k}

Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{Q_{2}^{'}}{Q_{2}} = \frac{k + 1}{2 k}$
The capacitor 1 has capacitance $C$ and as dielectric contains in capacitor 2 so its capacitance becomes $k C$ .
The net capacitance $C_{e q} = \frac{C . k C}{C + k C} = \frac{C k}{1 + k}$
and $Q_{e q} = C_{e q} E$
When dielectric is reemoved from capacitor 2, its capacitance becomes $C$ .
now net capacitance $C_{e q}^{'} = \frac{C . C}{C + C} = \frac{C}{2}$
and $Q_{e q}^{'} = C_{e q}^{'} E = \frac{C E}{2}$
When the capacitors are connected in series, they each have the same charge as the net capacitance. Thus, $Q_{e q} = Q_{1} = Q_{2}$ and $Q_{e q}^{'} = Q_{1}^{'} = Q_{2}^{'}$
$∴ \frac{Q_{1}^{'}}{Q_{1}} = \frac{Q_{2}^{'}}{Q_{2}} = \frac{2 k}{k + 1}$
