Problem 76GP
CE The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor have constant charges of +Q and −Q. Do the following quantities increase, decrease, or remain the same as a dielectric is inserted between the plates? (a) The electric field between the plates; (b) the potential difference between the plates; (c) the capacitance; (d) the energy stored in the capacitor.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Here, we have to find whether the given quantities will be increased, decreased or remain the same, if we insert a dielectric between the plates of a capacitor.
The charge of the capacitor remains constant here.
