12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Case Based (MCQs) - Electric Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    A parallel plate air capacitor has capacity C farad, potential V volt and energy E joule. When the gap between the plates is completely filled with dielectric

    A) both V and E increase

    B) both V and E decrease

    C) V decreases, E increases

    D) V increases, E decreases

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When the gap between the plates is completely filled with dielectric of dielectric constant K, then potential is \[V=\frac{Qd}{A{{\varepsilon }_{0}}K}\]                                   … (i) and electric field is \[E=\frac{Q}{A{{\varepsilon }_{0}}K}\]                         … (ii) From equations (i) and (ii), both electric field and potential decrease.
