NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

Consider a capacitor with a dielectric inserted between its plates. If a dielectric of thickness 3 mm and dielectric constant 6 is inserted while the voltage supply remains connected, what happens to the capacitance?

Question diagram
A

Capacitance increases.

B

Capacitance decreases.

C

Capacitance remains unchanged.

D

Capacitance becomes zero.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Inserting a dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor while the voltage supply is connected increases the capacitance due to the dielectric's ability to store more charge.
