A parallel plate capacitor , each with plate area A and separation d , is charged to a potential difference V . The battery used to charge it remains connected . A dielectric slab of thickness of and dielectric constant K is now placed between the plates . What change , if any , will take placein : charge on plates ? Justify your answer |

Answer» Solution :Given that plate area of either plate of parallel plate CAPACITOR = A distance between the plates = d and potential difference between the plates = V Hence initially capacitance ` C = (in_(0) A)/(d)` and charge on plates Q = CV As the battery REMAINS connected throughout the potential difference between the plates remains UNCHANGED (V. = V)On placing a dielectric slab of the THICKNESS .d. and dielectric constant .K. between the plates New capacitance of the capacitor `C. = (K in_(0) A)/(d) = KC ` |
