A parallel plate capacitor filled with a medium of dielectric constant \(10\) , is connected across a battery and is charged. The dielectric slab is replaced by another slab of dielectric constant \(15\) . Then the energy of capacitor will ......................

  1. A increase by \(50 \%\)
  2. B decrease by \(15 \%\)
  3. C increase by \(25 \%\)
  4. D increase by \(33 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) increase by \(50 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}( KC ) v ^{2}\) \(\therefore \%\) change \(\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{1}{2} K _{2} CV ^{2}-\frac{1}{2} K _{1} CV ^{2}}{\frac{1}{2} K _{1} CV ^{2}}=\frac{ K _{2}- K _{1}}{ K _{1}} \times 100\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{15-10}{10} \times 100=50 \%\)
