A dielectric slab is inserted between the plates of an isolated capacitor. The force between the plates will

We know that,

Force between the plates of the capacitor is given by



Where,


Q=charge on the capacitor


A=area of plates


Derivation:


Suppose charge Q and -Q are provided on plates of capacitor of area A.


Since, F=QE


Where


Q is the test charge on the point charge


E is the electric field intensity.


Field due to charge Q on one plate is



Force on the plate with charge -Q will be



Considering magnitude, each plate applies a force of


Each.


On increasing a dielectric slab between the plates of the capacitor, the charge on the plates remains constant as the plates are isolated) .


Since, area of plates does not change, force between the plates remain constant.
