A capacitor is charged and then disconnected, and a dielectric of relative permittivity 3 is inserted. The voltage across it becomes

  • A.three times its former value
  • B.unchanged
  • C.zero
  • D.one third of its former value

Answer: D

With the charge fixed and the capacitance trebled, the voltage must fall to a third. The stored energy falls to a third as well, the difference having been given up as mechanical work as the slab was drawn into the gap.
