    The capacitors \[A\] and \[B\] have identical geometry. A material with a dielectric constant \[3\] is present between the plates of \[B\]. The potential difference across \[A\] and \[B\] are respectively:

    A) \[2.5\,\,V,\,\,7.5\,\,V\]                

    B) \[2\,\,V,\,\,8\,\,V\]

    C) \[8\,\,V,\,\,2\,\,V\]                        

    D) \[7.5\,\,V,\,\,2.5\,\,V\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The equivalent capacitance for capacitors connected in series is\[\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{{{C}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{C}_{2}}}\]. The capacitance \[(C)\] of a parallel plate capacitor is gives by                 \[{{C}_{A}}=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}\] When dielectric is kept between the plates of \[B\] then                 \[{{C}_{B}}=\frac{K{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}=K{{C}_{A}}=3{{C}_{A}}\] The equivalent capacitance for their series combination \[\therefore \]  \[C=\frac{{{C}_{A}}\times {{C}_{B}}}{{{C}_{A}}+{{C}_{B}}}\]                     \[=\frac{{{C}_{A}}\times 3{{C}_{A}}}{{{C}_{A}}+3{{C}_{A}}}=\frac{3}{4}{{C}_{A}}\] \[\therefore \]Net charge\[q=CV=\frac{3}{4}{{C}_{A}}\times 10=7.5{{C}_{A}}\] Hence,\[{{V}_{A}}=\frac{q}{{{C}_{A}}}=7.5\,\,V,\,\,{{V}_{B}}=\frac{q}{{{C}_{B}}}=2.5\,\,V\]
