A parallel plate capacitor having capacitance 12pF12pF is charged by a battery to a potential difference of 10V10V between its plates. The charging battery is now disconnected and a porcelain slab of dielectric constant 6.56.5 is slipped between the plates. The work done by the capacitor on the slab is

Options

  1. A560pJ560pJ
  2. B600pJ600pJ
  3. C508pJ508pJ
  4. D692pJ692pJ

Correct answer

C. 508pJ508pJ

Step-by-step solution

Initial energy of capacitor

Ui=12q2c{U}_{i} = \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{{q}^{2}}{c}
=12×120×12012=600pJ= \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{120 \times 120}{12} = 600pJ

Since battery is disconnected so charge remain same. Final energy of capacitor

Uf=12q2ck{U}_{f} = \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{{q}^{2}}{ck}

=12×120×12012×6.5=92pJ= \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{120 \times 120}{12 \times 6 . 5} = 92pJ

W+Uf=UiW + {U}_{f} = {U}_{i}
W=508pJW = 508pJ
