Dielectrics

A parallel plate condenser with a dielectric of dielectric constant KK between the plates has a capacity CC and is charged to a potential VV volt. The dielectric slab is slowly removed from between the plates and then reinserted. The net work done by the system in this process is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. After removing and reinserting the slab, the capacitor returns to the same CC, QQ and VV.
  2. Initial and final stored energy are equal, so ΔU=0\Delta U=0.
  3. Net work done by the system =0=0. So the answer is (a) zero.
