Assertion (A): When air between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is replaced by an insulating medium of dielectric constant its capacity increases.
Reason (R): Electric field intensity between the plates with dielectric in between it is reduced.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is given by,

$\text{C}=\frac{\text{q}}{\text{V}}$ (i)

Electric field intensity becomes $\frac{1}{\text{K}}$ times [as $\text{K}=\frac{\text{E}_0}{\text{E}},$] therefore potential V also becomes $\frac{1}{\text{K}}$ times.

Hence, from equation (i) capacity, becomes K times. Thus electric field decreases and capacitance increases when condenser is filled with insulated medium of some dielectric constant.

Assertion (A): When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $V _0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is $K _{\max }$. When the ultraviolet light is replaced by X-rays, both $V _0$ and $K _{\max }$. increase.
Reason (R): Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.
