Dielectrics

Two identical parallel plate air capacitors are connected in series to a battery of emf 'VV'. If one of the capacitor is inserted in liquid of dielectric constant 'KK' then, potential difference of the other capacitor will become

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Series: same charge, so V∝1CV \propto \frac{1}{C}. Capacitances are KCKC and CC.
  2. Vother=V⋅KCKC+C=KVK+1V_{other} = V \cdot \frac{KC}{KC + C} = \frac{KV}{K+1}
  3. So the answer is (c) KVK+1\frac{KV}{K+1}.
