Verified by Experts

Given that plate area of either plate of parallel plate capacitor = A distance between the plates = d and potential difference between the plates = V
Hence initially capacitance ` C = (in_(0) A)/(d)` and charge on plates Q = CV
As the battery remains connected throughout the potential difference between the plates remains unchanged (V. = V) On placing a dielectric slab of the thickness .d. and dielectric constant .K. between the plates
New charge on plates `Q. = C. V.. = KCV = KQ`
