Q.

A parallel plate capacitor whose capacitance C is 14 pF is charged by a battery to a potential difference  V=12V between its plates. The charging battery is now disconnected and a porcelain plate with k=7 is inserted between the plates, then the plate would oscillate back and forth between the plates with a constant mechanical energy of ____ pJ. (Assume no friction)

Detailed Solution

The energy stored in capacitor
 U=Q22C=12CV2=12×14×12×12=7×144pJ  
When a dielectric plate is introduced the energy will change keeping charge constant as it is disconnected with battery
The new energy of capacitor  :   U1=Q22C1=Q22CK=UK=7×1447=144pJ
The change in energy will impose to the plate and it oscillates with energy of 
   UU1=7×144144 =6×144 =864pJ     
[Note: Assume thickness of porcelain plate same as gap between capacitor plates]
