AIIMS 2019 Physics Capacitors and Dielectrics MCQ Question
The initial charge on the capacitor is, q_0 = C_0V = rac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} V The charge on the capacitor when di-electric is inserted is,
q = kq_0
= rac{k\varepsilon_0 A}{d} V
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When a dielectric material with a dielectric constant is inserted into a capacitor, the charge on the capacitor increases due to the polarization of the dielectric, which enhances the capacitance. The new charge can be expressed as , where is the initial charge, leading to the alternative expression (option B). Other options are incorrect as they either fail to account for the dielectric effect or do not represent the relationship between charge and capacitance accurately. Understanding this concept is crucial, as it illustrates how dielectrics influence electric fields and capacitance in capacitors.
