A capacitor is fully charged with a battery and then disconnected. A dielectric is then inserted into the capacitor. How do charges on surface of the dielectric and outer surface of the plates of the capacitor would change respectively?

  1. A Increases, decreases
  2. B Decreases, increases
  3. C Increases, remain unchanged
  4. D Remains unchanged, increases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Increases, remain unchanged

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As capacitor is disconnected from battery. Its charges at the plates will get stored in the form of electrostatic energy (Case I). When a dielectric is introduced inside this capacitor, it gets polarised as shown in (Case II). Due to this, charges at surface of dielectric gets…
