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.
