Dielectrics

When the battery across the plates of a charged condenser is disconnected and a dielectric slab is introduced between its plates then the energy stored

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Battery disconnected: QQ is constant.
  2. U=Q22CU = \frac{Q^2}{2C}; slab makes C′=KCC' = KC, so U′=UK<UU' = \frac{U}{K} < U.
  3. So the energy decreases: answer (d).
