In the arrangement shown, when a dielectric slab having dielectric constant K is inserted in the capaciter of capacitance C, the reading of the volt meter becomes 1/5th of previous value.Then value of K is

a
3
b
4
c
2
d
3.5

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Initial reading, V=2C3.EC=2E3Q1 = final charge on the capacitor = CK×2C(CK+2C)×E=2KCE(K+2)∴V' =Final potential = Q1CK=2EK+2Since V' = ½ V we can write 2EK+2=12×2E3⇒K=4
