A sheet of mica is inserted between the plates of an isolated charged parallel-plate capaci tor. Mica is a transparent mineral that comes naturally in thin sheets, and is an excellent dielectric. Which of the following statements is true? 1. The electric field between the capacitor

Respuesta :

Answer:

The statement which is true:

  • The potential difference across the capacitor decreases.

Explanation:

  • As given that the capacitor is isolated that means that the charge on the plates of the capacitor remains the same.
  • When the dielectric as mica is inserted then the capacitance increases.
  • As well as the potential difference across the capacitor decreases which can be understood by the following equation:

                       V = Q / C

    where V show potential difference across the capacitor, Q is the charge and C is the capacitance.

  • As the capacitance increases the potential difference decreases and when the capacitance decreases the potential difference increases.
