A parallel plate air capacitor has capacity 'C' farad, potential 'V' volt and energy 'E' joule. When the gap between the plates is completely filled with dielectric

A
Both V and E increase
Correct answer
B
Both V and E decrease
C
V decrease, E increase
D
V increase, E decrease

Solution

Both V and E decrease

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
