The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum energy stored in a capacitor with a dielectric, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Formula for Energy Stored The energy \( U \) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 \] where \( C \) is the capacitance and \( V \) is the voltage across the capacitor. ### Step 2: Identify the Capacitance with Dielectric The capacitance \( C \) of a capacitor with a dielectric is given by: \[ C = \frac{\varepsilon A}{d} \] where: - \( \varepsilon \) is the permittivity of the dielectric material, - \( A \) is the area of the plates, - \( d \) is the separation between the plates. ### Step 3: Relate Permittivity to Dielectric Constant The permittivity \( \varepsilon \) can be expressed in terms of the dielectric constant \( k \) (or \( U_d \) in this case) as: \[ \varepsilon = k \varepsilon_0 \] where \( \varepsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. ### Step 4: Substitute Capacitance into Energy Formula Substituting the expression for capacitance into the energy formula gives: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{k \varepsilon_0 A}{d} \right) V^2 \] ### Step 5: Substitute Breakdown Voltage The breakdown voltage \( V \) is given by: \[ V = U_d d \] Substituting this into the energy formula, we get: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{k \varepsilon_0 A}{d} \right) (U_d d)^2 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Expression Now, simplify the expression: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{k \varepsilon_0 A}{d} \right) (U_d^2 d^2) \] This simplifies to: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} k \varepsilon_0 A U_d^2 d \] ### Final Expression for Maximum Energy Thus, the maximum energy stored in the capacitor is: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} k \varepsilon_0 A U_d^2 d \]

Assertion: A parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference 100 V , and disconnected from the voltage source. A slab of dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. Compared to the energy before the slab was inserted, the energy stored in the capacitor with the dielectric is decreased. Reason: When we insert a dielectric the plates of a capacitor, the induced tend to draw in the dielectric into the field (just as neutral). we resist this force while slowly inserting the dielectric, and thus do negative work on the system, removing electrostatic energy from the system.
