    An air capacitor of capacity \[C=10\mu F\]is connected to a constant voltage battery of 12V. Now, the space between the plates is filled with a Liquid of dielectric constant 5. The additional Charge that flows now from battery to the Capacitor is:

    A)  \[24\mu C\]                      

    B)  \[480\,\mu C\]

    C)  \[600\,\mu C\]                

    D)  \[120\,\mu C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The capacitance \[\left( C \right)\] of a conductor is defined as the ratio of the charge \[\left( Q \right)\] given to the rise in the potential \[\left( V \right)\] of the conductor. \[\therefore \]                  \[Q=CV\] When \[{{C}_{1}}=10\mu F,\,\,V=12\,volt\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{Q}_{1}}=\left( 10\times 12 \right)\mu C=120\mu C\]                                 \[{{C}_{2}}=K{{C}_{1}}=5\times 10=50\mu F\] Also,      \[{{Q}_{2}}=50\times 12=600\mu C\] Hence, additional charge \[\Delta Q={{Q}_{2}}-{{Q}_{1}}=\left( 600-120 \right)\mu C=480\mu C\]
