5. A parallel plate capacitor, each with plate area A. and separation d, is charged to a
potential difference V. The battery used to charge it remains connected. A dielectric slab
of thickness d and dielectric constant k is now placed between the plates. What change, if
any, will take place in :
(i) charge on plates?
(ii) electric field intensity between the plates? 2
6. A capacitor of unknown capacitance is connected across a battery of V volts. The charge
stored in it is 300 µC. When potential across the capacitor is reduced by 100 V, the
charge stored in it becomes 100 V. Calculate the potential V and the unknown
capacitance. What will be the charge stored in the capacitor if the voltage applied had
increased by 100 V? 3
