Problem

A parallel-plate capacitor is first charged by a battery and then disconnected from it. A dielectric slab with dielectric constant κ>1\kappa>1 is inserted so that it completely fills the space between the plates. Which of the following best describes what happens to the quantities listed? a) QQ remains the same, ΔV\Delta V increases, and the stored energy increases. b) QQ remains the same, ΔV\Delta V decreases, and the stored energy decreases. c) QQ increases, ΔV\Delta V stays the same, and the stored energy increases. d) QQ remains the same, ΔV\Delta V decreases, and the stored energy increases.
