Question

What will be the change in the electric field of the parallel plate capacitor when a dielectric (of constant k) is pulled out from between the plates of the capacitor and it remains connected to the battery.

A
increases by a factor of k
B
decreases by a factor of k
C
increases by a factor of 1/k
D
decreases by a factor of 1/k
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is D. decreases by a factor of 1/k
The electric field is given by $$E=\dfrac{Q}{K\epsilon_0A}$$
Therefore, $$E$$ reduces by a factor of $$1/K$$
