Electrostatics Question 56
Question: When a slab of dielectric material is introduced between the parallel plates of a capacitor which remains connected to a battery, then charge on plates relative to earlier charge [MP PET 1992]
Options:
A) Is less
B) Is same
C) Is more
D) May be less or more depending on the nature of the material introduced
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
When dielectric is introduced, the capacitance will increase and as the battery remains connected, so the voltage will remain constant. Hence according to $ Q=CV, $ the charge will increase.
