The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the new capacitance and energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor when the dielectric medium is changed from air to glass. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Initial Conditions:** - The initial capacitance with air as the dielectric is given as \( C_0 \). - The initial energy stored in the capacitor is given as \( W_0 \). 2. **Capacitance with Dielectric:** - The capacitance \( C \) of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the formula: \[ C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} \] where \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, \( A \) is the area of the plates, and \( d \) is the distance between the plates. - When a dielectric material (in this case, glass with a dielectric constant \( K = 5 \)) is introduced, the capacitance becomes: \[ C = K \cdot C_0 \] - Substituting the value of \( K \): \[ C = 5 \cdot C_0 \] 3. **Energy Stored in the Capacitor:** - The energy stored in a capacitor is given by: \[ W = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{C} \] where \( Q \) is the charge on the capacitor. - The charge \( Q \) remains the same when the dielectric is changed, so we can express the new energy \( W \) when the dielectric is glass: \[ W = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{5C_0} \] - Since \( W_0 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{C_0} \), we can relate the new energy to the initial energy: \[ W = \frac{W_0}{5} \] 4. **Final Results:** - The new capacitance with glass as the dielectric is: \[ C = 5C_0 \] - The new energy stored in the capacitor is: \[ W = \frac{W_0}{5} \] ### Conclusion: The capacity and the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor with glass between its plates are respectively \( 5C_0 \) and \( \frac{W_0}{5} \).
