MCQ
What happens to the capacitance when a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor?
- ACapacitance decreases.
- BCapacitance remains same.
- CCapacitance increases.
- DDepends upon the material of the dielectric.
✓
Answer
- Capacitance increases.
Explanation:
When a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance of the capacitor increases with a factor of K. That is C = KC0.

A freshly prepared radioactive source of half-life 2h emits radiation of intensity which is 64 times the permissible safe level. The minimum time after which it would be possible to work safely with this source is:
The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is $\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\in_0^2\text{h}^2}$. (m = electron mass).
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving arround it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be,
$\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\in_0^2\text{h}^2}$ (M = proton mass)
This last expression is not correct because:
