1. Separation between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is 5 mm. This capacitor, having air as the dielectric medium between the plates, is charged to a potential difference 25 V using a battery. The battery is then disconnected and a dielectric slab of thickness 3 mm and dielectric constant K = 10 is placed between the plates, as shown. Potential difference between the plates after the dielectric slab has been introduced is

(B) 13.5 V

(C) 11.5 V

(D) 6.5 V
