A dielectric slab of thickness `d` is inserted in a parallel plate capacitor whose negative plate is at `x=0` and positive plate is at `x = 3d`. The slab is equidistant from the plates. The capacitor is given some charge. As one goes from `0` to `3d(1998)`.

A

the magnitude of the electric field remains the same

B

the direction of the filed remains the same

C

the electric potential increases continuously

D

the electric potential increases at first,then increases and again increase.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

Potential due to small element `p` at the centre
`v=intdv=intk(lambda)/(r)dl=(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(lambda)/(r)intdl`
`dv=K.lambda(dl)/(r),(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(lambda)/(r)pir rArr (lambda)/(4epsilon_(0))`
