If $q_{f}$ is the free charge on the capacitor plates and $q_{b}$ is the bound charge on the dielectric slab of dielectric constant $k$ placed between the capacitor plates,then the bound charge $q_{b}$ can be expressed as:

  • A
    $q_{b} = q_{f} \left(1 - \frac{1}{k}\right)$
  • B
    $q_{b} = q_{f} \left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}\right)$
  • C
    $q_{b} = q_{f} \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}\right)$
  • D
    $q_{b} = q_{f} \left(1 + \frac{1}{k}\right)$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ and then the battery is disconnected. $A$ slab of dielectric constant $K$ is then inserted between the plates of the capacitor so as to fill the space between the plates. If $Q$,$E$,and $W$ denote respectively the magnitude of charge on each plate,the electric field between the plates (after the slab is inserted),and the work done on the system in the process of inserting the slab,then:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $1.0 \text{ pF}$. If the distance between the plates is doubled and the space between them is filled with a dielectric substance,the capacitance becomes $2.0 \text{ pF}$.
