NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about capacitors and electrostatic potential is correct?

A

Inserting a dielectric between capacitor plates increases capacitance while voltage is connected.

B

An uncharged capacitor connected to a charged capacitor cannot share charge.

C

The energy stored in a capacitor increases when the voltage supply is disconnected.

D

The dielectric constant has no effect on the electric field in a capacitor.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Inserting a dielectric material like mica into a capacitor while it remains connected to a voltage source increases its capacitance due to the dielectric effect, as indicated in the context provided. The other statements contain misconceptions about charge sharing and the effects of dielectrics.
