If the capacitor is charged in presence of dielectric and then the dielectric is removed afterwards, what will be the change in potential ?
Options:
potential increases
potential decreases
remains constant
can't say
Correct Answer:
potential increases
Explanation:
As the charge remains the same. The capacitance decreases and so the potential must rise.
