Question

A dielectric slab of thickness d is inserted in a parallel plate capacitor whose negative plate is at x=0 and positive plate is at x=3d. The slab is equidistant from the plates. The capacitor is given some charge. As x goes from 0 to 3d 

(A) The magnitude of the electric field remains the same 

(B) The direction of the electric field remains the same 

(C) The electric potential increases continuously 

(D) The electric potential increases at first, then decreases and again increases

Answer 1

Correct option  (B, C)

Explanation: 

(B) is correct as the direction of field remain the same. 

(C) As we are going in the opposite direction of electric field, potential would rise.
