1 Medium
1 of 1
Analyzing +4 | -1
Assertion: If the distance between parallel plate of a capacitor is halved and dielectric constant is three times, then the capacitance become 6 times.

Reason: Capacity of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If both the Assertion is correct but Reason is
incorrect
If both the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect because the capacitance becomes 6 times, and the reason is incorrect as capacitance depends on the material's permittivity.

A parallel plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric whose dimensions are the same as that of the capacitor. The capacitor is connected to a battery.
Statement 1: If the dielectric is pulled out, the electric field inside the capacitor increases.
Statement 2: The electric field inside the dielectric is lesser than the electric field in the region outside the dielectric.
Statement-1: A parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 100 V100 \mathrm{~V}, and disconnected from the voltage source. A slab of dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. Compared to the energy before the slab was inserted, the energy stored in the capacitor with the dielectric is decreased.
Statement-2: When we insert a dielectric between the plates of a capacitor, the induced charges tend to draw in the dielectric into the field (just as neutral objects are attracted by charged objects due to induction). We resist this force while slowly inserting the dielectric, and thus do negative work on the system, removing electrostatic energy from the system.
An electric dipole of moment p⃗{\vec p} placed in a uniform electric field E⃗{\vec E} has minimum potential energy when the angle between p⃗{\vec p} and E⃗{\vec E} is A capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area 12 cm212 \mathrm{~cm}^2 and they are 0.6 cm0.6 \mathrm{~cm} apart. When a slab of dielectric having area 12 cm212 \mathrm{~cm}^2 and 0.6 cm0.6 \mathrm{~cm} thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by 0.2 cm0.2 \mathrm{~cm} to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is: (Given ε0=8.834×10−12 F/m)\left(\text{Given }\varepsilon_0=8.834 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~F} / \mathrm{m}\right) Assertion:- Two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge can be at different potentials.
Reason:- The conductors may have different sizes and hence different capacitances.
The electric field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor when connected to a certain battery is E0.{E_0}. If the space between the plates of the capacitor is filled by introducing a material of dielectric constant KK without disturbing the battery connections, the field between the plates shall be
