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

A

It will remain stationary on the table

B

It is pulled by the capacitor and will pass on the other end

C

It is pulled between the plates and will remain there

D

All the above statements are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The energy will be minimum in this case and every system tends to possess minimum energy.
