The plates of a parallel plate capacitor with no dielectric are connected to a voltage source. Now,a dielectric of dielectric constant $K$ is inserted to fill the whole space between the plates,with the voltage source remaining connected to the capacitor.

  • A
    The energy stored in the capacitor will become $K$-times.
  • B
    The force of attraction between the plates will increase to $K^2$-times.
  • C
    The charge on the capacitor will increase to $K$-times.
  • D
    All of the above.

$A$ capacitor of capacitance $C = 10 \ \mu F$ is connected to a $12 \ V$ battery. When a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = 5$ is inserted between its plates,how much additional charge (in $\mu C$) will flow from the battery to the capacitor?

An air-filled parallel plate capacitor has capacity $C$. If the distance between the plates is doubled and it is immersed in a liquid,the capacity becomes twice. The dielectric constant of the liquid is:

$A$ 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:
