A dielectric slab is slowly inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, while the potential difference between the plates is held constant by a battery. As it is being inserted: the capacitance, the potential difference between the plates, and the charge on the positive plate all decrease. the potential difference between the plates increases, the charge on the positive plate decreases, and the capacitance remains the same. the capacitance, the potential difference between the plates, and the charge on the positive plate all increase. the capacitance and the charge on the positive plate increase but the potential difference Obetween the plates remains the same. the capacitance and the charge on the positive plate decrease but the potential difference between the plates remains the same.
