The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $8\,mm$ and the potential difference $(P.D.)$ is $120\,V$. If a $6\,mm$ thick slab of dielectric constant $K = 6$ is introduced between its plates,then:

  • A
    The charge on the capacitor will be doubled
  • B
    The charge on the capacitor will be reduced to half
  • C
    The $P.D.$ across the capacitor will be $320\,V$
  • D
    The $P.D.$ across the capacitor will be $45\,V$
