Question

A dielectric slab is slowly inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor while the potential difference is held constant by a battery. As it is being inserted:
Options
A the capacitance, the potential difference, and the charge on the positive plate all increase
B the capacitance and the charge on the positive plate increase but the potential difference remains the same
Correct Answer
C the capacitance, the potential difference, and the charge all decrease
D the potential difference increases, the charge decreases, and the capacitance remains the same
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The battery holds V constant. C rises, and since Q=CV, charge rises too.

Hint

The battery holds V constant.
