The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the changes in the capacitor's properties when the dielectric material is changed from \( K = 3 \) to \( K = 9 \). We will denote the initial values with subscript 0 and the new values with subscript 1. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship Between Charge, Voltage, and Capacitance:** The charge \( Q \) on a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ Q = C \cdot V \] where \( C \) is the capacitance and \( V \) is the voltage across the capacitor. 2. **Capacitance with Dielectric:** The capacitance of a capacitor filled with a dielectric material is given by: \[ C = K \cdot C_0 \] where \( K \) is the dielectric constant and \( C_0 \) is the capacitance without the dielectric. 3. **Initial Conditions:** For the initial dielectric with \( K = 3 \): \[ C_0 = C_0 \quad (initial \, capacitance) \] \[ C_1 = 3 \cdot C_0 \quad (new \, capacitance \, with \, K = 3) \] The initial charge and voltage are: \[ Q_0 = C_0 \cdot V_0 \] 4. **New Conditions with Dielectric \( K = 9 \):** When the dielectric is replaced with one having \( K = 9 \): \[ C_2 = 9 \cdot C_0 \quad (new \, capacitance \, with \, K = 9) \] 5. **Charge Conservation:** Since there is no battery connected, the charge remains constant: \[ Q_1 = Q_0 \] 6. **Finding New Voltage \( V_1 \):** Using the charge conservation: \[ Q_1 = C_2 \cdot V_1 \] Substituting \( Q_0 \) for \( Q_1 \): \[ Q_0 = (9 \cdot C_0) \cdot V_1 \] Now substituting \( Q_0 = C_0 \cdot V_0 \): \[ C_0 \cdot V_0 = (9 \cdot C_0) \cdot V_1 \] Dividing both sides by \( C_0 \) (assuming \( C_0 \neq 0 \)): \[ V_0 = 9 \cdot V_1 \] Thus, \[ V_1 = \frac{V_0}{9} \] 7. **Finding New Electric Field \( E_1 \):** The electric field \( E \) is related to voltage and distance \( d \) by: \[ E = \frac{V}{d} \] Since the distance \( d \) remains constant, the electric field will change proportionally to the voltage: \[ E_1 = \frac{V_1}{d} = \frac{V_0/9}{d} = \frac{E_0}{9} \] ### Final Results: - New Charge \( Q_1 = Q_0 \) - New Voltage \( V_1 = \frac{V_0}{9} \) - New Electric Field \( E_1 = \frac{E_0}{9} \) ### Summary: The new values of charge, voltage, and electric field when the dielectric is replaced with \( K = 9 \) are: - Charge: \( Q_1 = Q_0 \) - Voltage: \( V_1 = \frac{V_0}{9} \) - Electric Field: \( E_1 = \frac{E_0}{9} \)
