Q.

The parallel combination of two air filled parallel plate capacitors of capacitance C and nC  is connected to a battery of voltage, V. When the capacitors are fully charged, the battery is removed and after that a dielectric material of dielectric constant K is placed between the two plates of the first capacitor. The new potential difference of the combined system is

Detailed Solution

When parallel combination is fully charged, charge on the combination is

Question Image

Q=CeqV=C(1+n)V

When battery is removed and a dielectric slab is placed between two plates of first capacitor, then charge on the system remains same. Now equivalent capacitance after insertion of dielectric is

Question Image

Ceq=KC+nC=(n+K)C

If potential value after insertion of dielectric is V' then charge on system is
Q=CeqV=(n+K)CV
As Q=Q we have

C(1+n)V=(n+k)CV V=(1+n)V(n+K)
