The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the effect of filling the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric while it is connected to a battery, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Capacitor Configuration**: - A parallel plate capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by a distance \( D \). When connected to a battery, it maintains a constant potential difference \( V \). 2. **Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor**: - The capacitance \( C \) of a parallel plate capacitor without a dielectric is given by the formula: \[ C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{D} \] where \( \varepsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, \( A \) is the area of the plates, and \( D \) is the separation between the plates. 3. **Effect of Inserting a Dielectric**: - When a dielectric material with dielectric constant \( k \) is inserted between the plates, the capacitance increases to: \[ C' = kC \] - This means that the new capacitance \( C' \) is greater than the original capacitance \( C \). 4. **Charge on the Capacitor**: - The charge \( Q \) stored in the capacitor is related to capacitance and potential difference by the equation: \[ Q = CV \] - Since the capacitor is connected to a battery, the potential difference \( V \) remains constant. 5. **Impact of Increased Capacitance**: - With the dielectric inserted, the new charge \( Q' \) on the capacitor becomes: \[ Q' = C'V = (kC)V = k(Q) \] - This indicates that the charge \( Q' \) also increases because \( C' > C \). 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when a dielectric is introduced into a parallel plate capacitor connected to a battery, the capacitance \( C \) and the charge \( Q \) both increase, while the potential difference \( V \) remains constant. ### Final Answer: The quantities that increase when a dielectric is filled in the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor connected to a battery are: - Capacitance \( C \) - Charge \( Q \)
