Problem

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a

100\,\text{V}

battery and acquires a charge of

200\,\mu\text{C}

. While it remains connected to the battery, a dielectric slab of dielectric constant

completely fills the gap between the plates. The additional charge that flows from the battery to the capacitor is (a)

400\,\mu\text{C}

(b)

600\,\mu\text{C}

(c)

800\,\mu\text{C}

(d)

200\,\mu\text{C}
