A parallel plate capacitor is charged by battery. While the battery remains connected and dielectric slab of dielectric constant 'k' is inserted between the plates of capacitor then,
A. Charge increases and becomes k times.
B. Capacitance decreases becomes times 1/k
C. Energy stored in capacitor increases to \(k\) times.
D. Potential difference increases to \(k\) times.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A A and B only
  2. B A and C only
  3. C B and D only
  4. D A and D only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) A and C only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V' = V\) \(C' = kC\) \(Q' = C'V' = kCV = kQ\) \(U' = \frac{1}{2}C'V'^2 = \frac{1}{2}(kC)V^2 = k(\frac{1}{2}CV^2) = kU\) Statements A and C are correct. A and C only
