Q.

A parallel plate capacitor of area A and separation ‘d’ is charged to potential difference V and removed from the charging source. A dielectric slab of constant K = 3,  thickness ‘d’ and area A2  is inserted, as shown in the figure. Let σ1  be free charge density at the conductor–dielectric surface and σ2 be the charge density at the conductor–vacuum surface.

Detailed Solution

Let  C=0d
Let V be the voltage of the source. Initial charge on the capacitor =CV
After the insertion of the dielectric, since the capacitors are attached in parallel, the potential difference across the capacitors is same and so is the electric field inside the capacitors (Ed=V’). 
Option (D) is correct.
Let q  be the charge on the conductor-vacuum surface and CVq be the charge on the conductor-dielectric surface. 
 qA2ε0d=CVqA20dq=CVK+1=CV4
New capacitance,  C'=02d+AKε02d=0K+12d=20d=2C
Option (B) is correct.
New potential difference, V'=q02d=CV4C2=CV4×2C=V2
Option (C) is correct.

σ1σ2=CVq/A/2q/A/2=CVqq=CVCV/4CV/4=3

Option (A) is correct.
