If a capacitor is connected to a battery, and allowed enough time to charge, the battery will maintain a constant voltage drop across the capacitor. This means that ∆V cannot change. It turns out that the effect on the capacitor due to inserting a dielectric is still the same; the capacitance increases by a factor of k. Since the voltage difference must stay the same, how can this happen? What must the battery do to create and maintain this voltage drop as the dielectric is inserted?
