When a slab of dielectric material is introduced between the parallel plates of a capacitor which remains connected to a battery,then the charge on the plates relative to the earlier charge:

  • A
    Is less
  • B
    Is same
  • C
    Is more
  • D
    May be less or more depending on the nature of the material introduced

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance $40 \mu F$ is connected to a $100 V$ power supply. Now,the intermediate space between the plates is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K=2$. Due to the introduction of the dielectric material,the extra charge and the change in the electrostatic energy in the capacitor,respectively,are:

The figure given below shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery with switch $S$ closed. The switch is now opened and the free space between the plates of both capacitors is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$. What will be the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric?

Half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $K$ parallel to the plates. If the initial capacitance is $C$,then the new capacitance will be:

$A$ container has a base of $50 \text{ cm} \times 5 \text{ cm}$ and height $50 \text{ cm}$, as shown in the figure. It has two parallel electrically conducting walls each of area $50 \text{ cm} \times 50 \text{ cm}$. The remaining walls of the container are thin and non-conducting. The container is being filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $3$ at a uniform rate of $250 \text{ cm}^3 \text{ s}^{-1}$. What is the value of the capacitance of the container after $10 \text{ s}$ (in $\text{ pF}$)? [Given: Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2 \text{ N}^{-1} \text{ m}^{-2}$, the effects of the non-conducting walls on the capacitance are negligible]

Two dielectric slabs of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ and of the same thickness are inserted in a parallel plate capacitor. Given $K_1 = 2K_2$. If the potential differences across the slabs are $V_1$ and $V_2$ respectively,then:
