Suppose a capacitor holds a charge Q and voltage V but is currently NOT connected to a voltage source. If a dielectric with dielectric constant 10 is inserted between the plates, then which of the following is TRUE?
W) The voltage between the plates is multiplied by a factor of 10
X) The voltage between the plates is multiplied by a factor of 1/10
Y) The charge on the plates is multiplied by a factor of 10
Z) The charge on the plates is multiplied by a factor of 1/10
✔️Answer:THE VOLTAGE BETWEEN THE PLATES IS MULTIPLIED BY A FACTOR OF 1/10
