Question

A capacitor with air as the dielectric is charged to a potential of 100 volts. If the space between the plates is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant 10, the potential difference between the plates will be (A) 1000 volts (B) 100 volts (C) 10 volts (D) Zero

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

New potential difference =(V/K) =(100/10)=10 V

Q. A capacitor with air as the dielectric is charged to a potential of $100$ volts. If the space between the plates is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $10$ , the potential difference between the plates will be

1000 volts

100 volts

10 volts

Zero

New potential difference $= \frac{V}{K}$
$= \frac{100}{10} = 10 V$
