A frictionless dielectric plate S is kept on a frictionless table T. A charged parallel plate capacitance C (of which the plates are frictionless) is kept near it. The plate S is between the plates. When the plate S is left between the plates

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The energy will be minimum in this case and every system tends to possess minimum energy.
