The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation of a capacitor connected to a battery and how the insertion of a dielectric slab affects the charge on the capacitor. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Initial Conditions**: - The capacitor is connected to a battery of voltage \( V \). - The initial charge on the capacitor is given as \( q_0 \). 2. **Initial Charge Calculation**: - The capacitance \( C_0 \) of the capacitor without the dielectric can be expressed as: \[ C_0 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} \] where \( A \) is the area of the plates and \( d \) is the separation between them. - The initial charge \( q_0 \) on the capacitor is given by: \[ q_0 = C_0 \cdot V = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} \cdot V \] 3. **Effect of Inserting the Dielectric**: - When a dielectric slab of dielectric constant \( k \) is inserted between the plates, the capacitance increases. The new capacitance \( C' \) becomes: \[ C' = k \cdot C_0 = k \cdot \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} \] 4. **Final Charge Calculation**: - Since the capacitor remains connected to the battery, the voltage across the capacitor remains constant at \( V \). Therefore, the final charge \( q \) on the capacitor after the dielectric is inserted is: \[ q = C' \cdot V = \left(k \cdot \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}\right) \cdot V \] - This simplifies to: \[ q = k \cdot \left(\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} \cdot V\right) = k \cdot q_0 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The final charge on the capacitor after the dielectric slab is fully inserted is: \[ q = k \cdot q_0 \] ### Final Answer: The final charge on the capacitor after inserting the dielectric slab is \( k \cdot q_0 \). ---
