A

The insertion of a dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor.

B

The voltage across a capacitor remains constant when a dielectric is inserted while connected to a supply.

C

The energy stored in a capacitor decreases when a dielectric is inserted after disconnecting from a supply.

D

The energy stored in a capacitor is directly proportional to the square of the voltage across its plates.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The insertion of a dielectric material increases the capacitance of a capacitor, as stated in the context. The voltage across the capacitor changes when a dielectric is inserted after disconnecting from the supply, affecting energy stored.
