A parallel plate air capacitor of capacitanceCis connected to a cell of emfVand then disconnected from it. A dielectric slab of dielectric constantK, which can just fill the air gap of the capacitor, is now inserted in it. Which of the following is incorrect?NEET 2015 (Phase 1)

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:


For airK=1,
C1=C
q=C1V  …i.
The charge remains constant.
U1=q22C
U2=q22CK
Change in energy stored in the capacitor,
U=U2-U1
=q22C 1K-1 =12CV2 1K-1
V'=qCK⇒V'=VK 
Here,1- Potential difference between the plates decreases byKtimes.
2- The change in energy stored  ∆U=12 CV2 1K-1.
3- Charge is conserved.
4- The energy stored in capacitor decrease byK, U2=12q2CK.
