A parallel plate air capacitor is charged and then isolated. When a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of the capacitor, then which of the following does not change

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Charge on the plates

Option C (Charge on the plates) is correct because when a capacitor is charged and isolated, the charge remains constant as there is no path for the charge to flow in or out.
