# If the Above Capacitor is Connected Across a 6⋅0 V Battery, Find (A) the Charge Supplied by the Battery, (B) the Induced Charge on the Dielectric - Physics

ConceptEffect of Dielectric on Capacity

#### Question

If the above capacitor is connected across a 6⋅0 V battery, find (a) the charge supplied by the battery, (b) the induced charge on the dielectric and (c) the net charge appearing on one of the coated surfaces.

#### Solution

Given :
Capacitance of the capacitor, C = 1.42 nF
Dielectric constant, k = 4
Voltage of the battery connected, V = 6 V

(a) The charge supplied by the battery is given by

q = CV = 1.42 xx 10^-9 xx 6

= 8.52 xx 10^-9  "C" = 8.5  "nC"

(b) The charge induced on the dielectric is given by

q^' = q(1-1/K)

= 8.52 xx 10^-9 xx (1-0.25)

= 6.39 xx 10^-9 = 6.4  "nC"

(c) The charge appearing on one of the coated plates is given by Q_"net" = 8.5 - 6.4 = 2.1  "nC"

Is there an error in this question or solution?
