NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
Consider a parallel plate capacitor setup where a dielectric slab is inserted between the plates. The dielectric constant of the slab is greater than one. Which of the following describes the correct effect on the capacitance of the capacitor?
A
Capacitance increases due to the dielectric slab.
B
Capacitance decreases due to the dielectric slab.
C
Capacitance remains unchanged.
D
Capacitance becomes zero.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Inserting a dielectric slab between the plates of a capacitor increases the capacitance, as the dielectric constant is greater than one, which reduces the effective electric field.
