Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

A parallel plate capacitor is first charged using a battery and then isolated. A dielectric slab is then introduced between the plates.

Which of the following is true for potential in this case?

Options:

potential increases

potential decreases

remains constant

can't say

Correct Answer:

potential decreases

Explanation:

The charge remains the same. The capacitance increases k times and so the potential has to get lower.
