MCQ

Two identical parallel plate capacitors of capacitance $C$ each are connected in series with a battery of emf, $E$ as shown below. If one of the capacitors is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k$, then the amount of charge which will flow through the battery is (neglect internal resistance of the battery)

A
$\frac{k+1}{2(k-1)} \cdot C E$
✓
$\frac{k-1}{2(k+1)} \cdot C E$
C
$\frac{k-2}{k+2} \cdot C E$
D
$\frac{k+2}{k-2} \cdot C E$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$\frac{k-1}{2(k+1)} \cdot C E$

b
(b)

Initially, $\quad C_{ eq }=\frac{C}{2}, V=E$

So, charge that is delivered by cell is

$Q_1=C_{ eq } E=\frac{C E}{2}$

In series charge remains same for both capacitors.

When one of capacitors is filled with a dielectric then,

$C_{ eq }=\frac{k C^2}{(C+k C)}=\left(\frac{k}{1+k}\right) C$

As battery remains connected, $V=E$. So, charge of combination

$Q_2=C_{ eq } V=\left(\frac{k}{1+k}\right) C E$

So, extra charge given by cell after insertion of dielectric is

$\Delta Q=Q_2-Q_1=\left(\frac{k}{1+k}-\frac{1}{2}\right) C E$

$=\frac{k-1}{2(k+1)} \cdot C E$
