$A$ capacitor is fully charged with a battery and then disconnected. $A$ dielectric is then inserted into the capacitor. How do the charges on the surface of the dielectric and the outer surface of the plates of the capacitor change, respectively?

  • A
    Increases, decreases
  • B
    Decreases, increases
  • C
    Increases, remain unchanged
  • D

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ between its plates that covers $1/3$ of the area of its plates,as shown in the figure. The total capacitance of the capacitor is $C$ while that of the portion with dielectric in between is $C_1$. When the capacitor is charged,the plate area covered by the dielectric gets charge $Q_1$ and the rest of the area gets charge $Q_2$. Choose the correct option/options,ignoring edge effects.
