JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th January Evening Slot - No. 18)

A parallel plate capacitor having capacitance 12 pF is charged by a battery to a potential difference of 10 V between its plates. The charging battery is now disconnected and a porcelain slab of dielectric constant 6.5 is slipped between the plates. The work done by the capacitor on the slab is :
508 pJ
692 pJ
560 pJ
600 pJ

Explanation

Initial energy of capacitor

Ui = $${1 \over 2}$$ $${{{v^2}} \over c}$$

= $${1 \over 2}$$ $$ \times $$ $${{120 \times 120} \over {12}}$$ = 600 J

Since battery is disconnected so charge remain same.

Final energy of capacitor

Uf = $${1 \over 2}{{{v^2}} \over c}$$

= $${1 \over 2} \times {{120 \times 120} \over {12 \times 6.5}}$$ = 92

W + Uf = Ui

W = 508 J
