ou slide a slab of dielectric between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. As you do this, the charges on the plates remain constant. What effect does adding the dielectric have on the energy stored in the capacitor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy stored in a capacitor is given by the expression

E = Q² / 2C , where Q is charge on it and C  is its capacitance . As we put dielectric slab between the plates , capacitance increases , Due to it energy decreases as capacitance form the denominator in the formula above and Q is constant .

Hence energy decreases.
