NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
Consider a parallel plate capacitor as shown in a diagram, where a dielectric of thickness 3 mm and dielectric constant 6 is inserted between the plates. What happens to the capacitance if the dielectric is introduced while the capacitor is disconnected from the supply?
A
Capacitance increases due to the dielectric.
B
Capacitance remains unchanged.
C
Capacitance decreases due to the dielectric.
D
Capacitance becomes zero.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Inserting a dielectric between the plates of a disconnected capacitor increases its capacitance, as the dielectric constant is greater than 1.
