$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two plates of length $l$,width $w$ and separated by distance $d$. $A$ dielectric slab (dielectric constant $K$) that fits exactly between the plates is held near the edge of the plates. It is pulled into the capacitor by a force $F = -\frac{\partial U}{\partial x}$ where $U$ is the energy of the capacitor when the dielectric is inside the capacitor up to distance $x$ (See figure). If the charge on the capacitor is $Q$,then the force on the dielectric when it is near the edge is

  • A
    $\frac{{{Q^2}d}}{{2w{l^2}{\varepsilon _0}}}K$
  • B
    $\frac{{{Q^2}w}}{{2d{l^2}{\varepsilon _0}}}\left( {K - 1} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{{{Q^2}d}}{{2w{l^2}{\varepsilon _0}}}\left( {K - 1} \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{{{Q^2}w}}{{2d{l^2}{\varepsilon _0}}}K$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C_1$ with a dielectric slab in between its plates is connected to a battery. It has a potential difference $V_1$ across its plates. When the dielectric slab is removed,keeping the capacitor connected to the battery,the new capacitance and potential difference are $C_2$ and $V_2$ respectively. Then:

$A$ capacitor is kept connected to the battery and a dielectric slab is inserted between the plates. During this process

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ has spacing $d$ between two plates having area $A$. The region between the plates is filled with $N$ dielectric layers,parallel to its plates,each with thickness $\delta = \frac{d}{N}$. The dielectric constant of the $m^{\text{th}}$ layer is $K_m = K(1 + \frac{m}{N})$. For a very large $N (> 10^3)$,the capacitance $C$ is $\alpha \left( \frac{K \varepsilon_0 A}{d \ln 2} \right)$.
