If the platesTwo parallel metal plates having charges +Q and -Q face each other at a certain distance between them. If the plates

Options

  1. Abecome zero
  2. Bincrease
  3. Cdecrease
  4. Dremain same

Correct answer

C. decrease

Step-by-step solution

Two parallel metal plates having charges +Q and -Q face each other at a certain distance between them. If the plates
The electric field in vacuum E0=σ2ε0Whentheplatesaredippedinkeroseneoiltank,thentheelectricfieldbetweentheplatewillbe\mathrm{E}_{0}=\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_0}When the plates are dipped in kerosene oil tank, then the electric field between the plate will be\begin{array}{rlrl} & & \mathrm{E}& =\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{k}}\\ \because & \mathrm{k}& >1 \\ \therefore & & \mathrm{E}& < \mathrm{E}}_{0} \end{array}So,theelectricfieldbetweentheplateswilldecrease.So, the electric field between the plates will decrease.
