  • MCQ

The parallel combination of two air filled parallel plate capacitors of capacitance \(C\) and \(nC\) is connected to a battery of voltage, \(V\). When the capacitor are fully charged, the battery is removed and after that a dielectric material of dielectric constant \(K\) is placed between the two plates of the first capacitor. The new potential difference of the combined system is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{{\left( {n + 1} \right)\,V}}{{\left( {K + n} \right)}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

After fully charging, battery is disconnected.

Total chare of the system \(=\mathrm{CV}+\mathrm{nCV}\)

\(=(n+1) C V\)

After the insertion of dielectric of constant \(\mathrm{K}\) New potential (common) \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\text { Total charge }}{\text { Total capacitance }}\)

\(=\frac{(n+1) C V}{K C+n C}=\frac{(n+1) V}{K+n}\)
