Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Capacitance MCQ (Single Correct)

A capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. A dielectric slab is then slipped between the plates, which results in

A
Reduction of charge on the plates and increase of potential difference across the plates
B
Increase in the potential difference across the plate, reduction in stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates
C
Decrease in the potential difference across the plates, reduction in the stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates
D
None of the above

The correct answer is:
C

Battery in disconnected so Q will be constant as . So with introduction of dielectric slab capacitance will increase using Q = CV, V will decrease and using , energy will decrease.
