The capacity and the energy stored in a parallel plate condenser with air between its plates are respectively Co and Wo . If the air is replaced by glass (dielectric constant = 5) between the plates, the capacity of the plates and the energy stored in it will respectively be
A
5Co,5Wo
B
5Co,5W0
C
5Co,5Wo
D
5Co,5Wo
Answer
5Co,5W0
Explanation
Solution
When a dielectric K is introduced in a parallel plate condenser its capacity becomes K times.
HenceW0=2C0q2
∴ ⇒ W′=5W0
