Capacitance
Question

A parallel plate air capacitor is connected to a battery. The quantities charge, voltage, electric field and energy associated with this capacitor are given by Q0,V0,E0 and U0 respectively. A dielectric slab is now introduced to fill the space between the plates with battery still in connection. The corresponding quantities now given by Q,V,E and U are related to the previous quantities as :

Moderate
Solution

Q=CV
With the introduction of dielectric slab, C increases but V remains unchanged because battery is connected.
Charge (Q) increases due to increase in C,
Q>Q0
Also,     U=12CV2
C>C0,V=V0
Then, U>U0
