A capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. A dielectric slab is introduced between the plates which results in
  • A
    increase in the potential difference across the plates and reduction in stored energy but no change in the charge on the plates
  • B
    decrease in the potential difference across the plates and reduction in the stored energy but no change in the charge on the plates
  • C
    reduction of charge on the plates and increase of potential difference across the plates
  • D
    increase in stored energy but no change in potential difference across the plates
