JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

A parallel plate capacitor having capacitance \(12\, pF\) is charged by a battery to a potential difference of \(10\, V\) between its plates. The charging battery is now disconnected and a porcelain slab of dielectric constant \(6.5\) is slipped between the plates. The work done by the capacitor on the slab is.......\(pJ\)

  1. A \(692\)
  2. B \(508\)
  3. C \(560\)
  4. D \(600\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(508\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{2c}} - \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{2ck}}\) \( = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{2c}}\left[ {1 - \frac{1}{k}} \right]\) \( = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 100\,pJ\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{6.5}}} \right)\) \( = \frac{{12 \times 100 \times 11}}{{2 \times 13}}\,{\text{pJ}}\)…
