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 capacitors 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

  • A
    $\frac{V}{K + n}$
  • B
    $V$
  • C
    $\frac{(n + 1)V}{K + n}$
  • D
    $\frac{nV}{K + n}$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made of two square parallel plates of area $A$,and separated by a distance $d << \sqrt{A}$. The capacitor is connected to a battery with potential $V$ and allowed to fully charge. The battery is then disconnected. $A$ square metal conducting slab also with area $A$ but thickness $d/2$ is then fully inserted between the plates,so that it is always parallel to the plates. How much work has been done on the metal slab by an external agent while it is being inserted?

Two identical parallel plate capacitors of capacitance $C$ each are connected in series with a battery of emf $E$ as shown below. If one of the capacitors is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k$,then the amount of charge which will flow through the battery is (neglect internal resistance of the battery).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $4 \ pF$. If the distance between the plates is reduced by half and the space between them is filled with a substance of dielectric constant $K = 6$,then the value of capacitance will be . . . . . . . (in $pF$)

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $5\,\mu F$ and plate separation $6\, cm$ is connected to a $1\, V$ battery and charged. $A$ dielectric of dielectric constant $4$ and thickness $4\, cm$ is introduced between the plates of the capacitor. The additional charge that flows into the capacitor from the battery is........$\mu C$

Assertion: When a battery remains connected,the electric potential energy increases if a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a capacitor.
Reason: When a battery remains connected,the charge on the plates of the capacitor remains the same.
