Q.39. (a) 0 The original capacitance was 10 F. The charge on the capacitor before the insertion of the
dielectric was, therefore,
Q1 = 100  200 = 20 mC
After the dielectric slab is F. The new charge on the introduced, the capacitance is increased to
500 capacitor is therefore,
(500  200) = 100 mC
The charge flown through the power supply is therefore,
100 - 20 = 80 mC
The work done by the power supply is (200  80) = 16 J
(b) The electrostatic field energy of the capacitor without the dielectric slab is
U1 = (1/2)cv 2 = (1/2)(100)(200)2 = 2J
and that after the slab is inserted is
U2 = (1/2)(500)(200)2 = 10 J
Thus the energy is increased by 8 J.

Q.66. (a) The original capacitance was 10 F. The charge on the capacitor before the insertion of
the dielectric was, therefore,
Q1 = 100  200 = 20 C
After the dielectric slab is introduced, the capacitance is increased to 500 F. The new charge on the
capacitor is therefore,
Q2 = (500  200) = 100 C
The charge flown through the power supply is therefore,
 100 - 20 = 80 C
The work done by the power supply is (200  80) = 16 J
(b) The electrostatic field energy of the capacitor without the dielectric slab is
U1 = (1/2)cv 2 = (1/2)(100)(200)2 = 2J
and that after the slab is inserted is
U2 = (1/2)(500)(200)2 = 10 J
Thus the energy is increased by 8 J.

After the dielectric slab is introduced, the capacitance is increased to 500 F. The new charge on

The charge flown through the power supply is therefore,

(b) The electrostatic field energy of the capacitor without the dielectric slab is

Thus the energy is increased by 8 J.
