The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving a parallel plate capacitor, the effects of inserting a dielectric slab, and the associated energy changes. ### Step 1: Calculate the Initial Charge on the Capacitor The initial charge \( Q_{\text{initial}} \) on the capacitor can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q_{\text{initial}} = C \times V \] Where: - \( C = 10 \, \mu F = 10 \times 10^{-6} \, F \) - \( V = 10 \, V \) Substituting the values: \[ Q_{\text{initial}} = 10 \times 10^{-6} \times 10 = 100 \, \mu C \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Final Charge on the Capacitor after Inserting the Dielectric When a dielectric slab with dielectric constant \( k = 3 \) is inserted, the capacitance increases. The new capacitance \( C' \) can be calculated as: \[ C' = k \times C = 3 \times 10 \, \mu F = 30 \, \mu F \] Now, we can find the final charge \( Q_{\text{final}} \) using the new capacitance: \[ Q_{\text{final}} = C' \times V = 30 \times 10^{-6} \times 10 = 300 \, \mu C \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Increase in Charge The increase in charge \( \Delta Q \) can be calculated as: \[ \Delta Q = Q_{\text{final}} - Q_{\text{initial}} = 300 \, \mu C - 100 \, \mu C = 200 \, \mu C \] ### Step 4: Analyze Heat Production During the filling process of the dielectric slab, since the slab is inserted while the capacitor is connected to the cell, there is no heat produced. This is because the process is quasi-static, and the energy supplied by the cell is entirely used to increase the potential energy stored in the capacitor. ### Step 5: Energy Supplied by the Cell The energy supplied by the cell can be expressed as: \[ \text{Energy supplied} = \text{Increase in stored potential energy} + \text{Work done on the person filling the slab} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion on Options 1. The increase in charge on the capacitor is \( 200 \, \mu C \) (True). 2. Heat produced is \( 0 \) (True). 3. Energy supplied by the cell is equal to energy stored as potential energy plus work done on the person filling the dielectric slab (True). 4. Energy supplied by the cell should be equal to increase in stored potential energy plus work done on the person filling the dielectric slab plus heat produced (False, because heat produced is zero). ### Final Answers The correct options are 1, 2, and 3. ---

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving a parallel plate capacitor, the effects of inserting a dielectric slab, and the associated energy changes. ### Step 1: Calculate the Initial Charge on the Capacitor The initial charge \( Q_{\text{initial}} \) on the capacitor can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q_{\text{initial}} = C \times V \] Where: ...
