STATEMENT-1: A parallel plate capacitor ...

STATEMENT-1: A parallel plate capacitor is charged by a `d.c.` source supplying a constant voltage `V`. If the plates are kept connected to the source and the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric, the charge on the plates will increases.
STATEMENT-2: Additional charge will flow from teh source to the plates.

A

Statement -1 si Ture, Statement -2 is True, Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement -1.

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is Not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The correct choice is `(A)`. Since the source supplies a contant voltage `V`. The potential difference between the plates remains equal to `V` because the source is not disconnected. The capacitance `C` increases due to the introduction of the dielectric. since `Q = CV`, the charge `q` on the capacitor plates will increase.
