NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): When a dielectric material is inserted into a capacitor connected to a voltage source, the capacitance increases.
Reason (R): The dielectric constant of the material reduces the electric field between the plates, causing an increase in charge storage.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context in Chunk 1 describes the effect of inserting a dielectric between capacitor plates. The dielectric increases the capacitance by reducing the electric field, allowing more charge to be stored.
