A parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is connected to a battery that maintains a constant potential difference across the plates. A slab of a dielectric material is inserted in the region between the plates and completely fills it. What changes would you observe as the dielectric is inserted? (There could be more than one correct choice.)

    1) the capacitance of the capacitor increases. This is due to the induction of opposite charges on the two surfaces of the dielectric by the plate, this increased the charge in the field, from C = Q/v, it is seen that capacitance C will increase with increase in Q since v is constant.

    2) the electric field intensity will also increase with increase in electric charges provided plate separation d remains constant.
