Which one statement is correct? A parallel plate air condenser is connected with a battery. Its charge, potential, electric field and energy are

Q_0, V_0, E_0

and

U_0

respectively. In order to fill the complete space between the plates a dielectric slab is inserted, the battery is still connected. Now the corresponding values

Q, V, E

and

U

are in relation with the initially stated as

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Q>Q_0

Option A (

Q>Q_0

) is correct because when a dielectric slab is inserted with the battery connected, the voltage remains constant, but the capacitance increases, leading to an increase in charge.
