Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Mix MCQ (Single Correct)

Two identical parallel plate capacitor are connected in series and the combination is connected with a battery as shown. Some changes in capacitor 1 are now made independently after the steady state is achived listed in column I. Some effects which may occur in new steady state due to these changes on the capacitor 2 are listed in column II. Match the changes on capacitor 1 in column I with corresponding effect on capacitor 2 in column II.

Column-I

Column-II

(i) A dielectric slab is

inserted

[A] charge on capacitor

increases

(ii) separation between

plates is increased

[B] charge on capacitor

(iii) A metal plate is

inserted connecting both

plate

[C] Energy stored in

capacitor increases

(iv) Separation between is

plate decreased

[D] Electric field between

The plates of capacitor

increase

[E] Potential difference

across the plate of

capacitor will increase
