An air parallel plate capacitor having a capacitance C is charged by connecting it to a battery . Now it is disconnected from the battery and a dielectric constant K is inserted between its plates so as to completely fill the space between the plates compare : (i) Initial and final capacitance . (ii) Initial and final charge. (iii) Initial and final potential difference. (iv) Initial and final electric field between the plates . (v ) Initial and final energy stored in the capacitor

Answer»

Solution :(i) Initial capacitance = C
Final capacitance = KC ( after INSERTING dielectric )
`implies (C_(1))/(C_(i))= K`
(ii) Charge on isolated capacitor remains same therefore `(Q_(t))/(Q_(i))` =1
(iii) As `Q= CVimplies V = (Q)/(C ) implies (V_(t))/(V_(t))= (C_(i))/(C_(t))= (1)/(K)`
(iv) `E=(V)/(d) implies (E_(1))/(E_(i))=(V_(t))/(V_(i))=(1)/(K)`
`U= (Q^(2))/(2C) implies (U_(r))/(U_(t))=(C_(i))/(C_(r))=(1)/(K)`
