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

If \({q}_{{f}}\) is the free charge on the capacitor plates and \({q}_{{b}}\) is the bound charge on the dielectric slab of dielectric constant \(k\) placed between the capacitor plates, then bound charge \(q_{b}\) can be expressed as 

  1. A \({q}_{{b}}={q}_{{f}}\left(1-\frac{1}{{k}}\right)\)
  2. B \({q}_{{b}}={q}_{{f}}\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{{k}}}\right)\)
  3. C \({q}_{{b}}={q}_{{f}}\left(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{{k}}}\right)\)
  4. D \({q}_{{b}}={q}_{{f}}\left(1+\frac{1}{{k}}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \({q}_{{b}}={q}_{{f}}\left(1-\frac{1}{{k}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a dielectric is inserted in a capacitor Due to free charge \(\vec{E}=\vec{E}_{0}\) only After dielectric \(E^{\prime}=\frac{E_{0}}{k}\) \(q_{B}=q_{f}\left(1-\frac{1}{k}\right)\)
