A dielectric slab is inserted between the plates of a capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is Q and the magnitude of the induced charge on each surface of the dielectric is Q'.

Question

Q' must be smaller than Q The relation between the induced charge Q' and the charge on the capacitor Q is given by Q^' = Q(1-1/K) Here, K is the dielectric constant that is always greater than or equal to 1. So, we can see that for K > 1, Q' will always be less than Q.
