Q. A parallel plate air capacitor has capacity $C$ farad, potential $V$ volt and energy $E$ joule. When the gap between the plates is completely filled with dielectric

MHT CETMHT CET 2017Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

A parallel- plate capacitor with a dielectric.
The electric field is reduced between the plates because the dielectric material is polarized, producing an opposing field.
When there is a dielectric, the potential is also reduced because potential is inversely proportional to dielectric
$V '=\frac{ V }{ K }$ where $K$ is dielectric constant.
