C=23F 

2 μF capacitance has potential difference across its two terminals 200 volts. It is disconnected with battery and then another uncharged capacitance is connected in parallel to it, then P.D. becomes 20 volts. Then the capacity of another capacitance will be

Explanation

By using, common potential V=C1V1+C2V2C1+C2

20=2×200+C2×02+C2C2 = 18 μF

A capacitor is charged by a battery. The battery is removed and another identical uncharged capacitor is connected in parallel. The total electrostatic energy of the resulting system 

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

When two uncharged identical capacitors are connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance becomes twice the individual capacitance. Since the total charge remains the same, the energy stored in the combined system decreases by a factor of 2.

A parallel plate air capacitor of capacitance C is connected, to a cell of emf V and then disconnected from it. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant K, which can just fill the air gap of the capacitor, is now inserted in it. Which of the following is incorrect?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

When a parallel plate air capacitor connected to a coil of emf V, then charge stored will be

q=CV

=> V=q/C

Also, energy stored is U=12CV2=q22C


As the battery is disconnected from the capacitor the charge will not be destroyed i.e. q'=q with the introduction of dielectric in the gap of the capacitor the new capacitance will be
C'=CK

=> V'=q/C'=q/CK

The new energy stored  will be

U'=q22CK

ΔU=U'-U=q22c1K-1

= 12CV21K-1

So, option (a),(b),(c) is correct but (d) is incorrect

If potential (in volts) in a region is expressed as V(x,y,z)=6xy-y+2yz, the electric field (in N/C) at point (1,1,0) is

A parallel plate air capacitor has capacity C, distance of separation between plates is d and potential difference V is applied between the plates. Force of attraction between the plates of the parallel plate air capacitor is

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

 

Force between plates of parallel capacitor 

F=qE=q[σ/2ε0]

∴Surface charge density σ=q/A

∴F=q[q/2Aεo]

=>F=q2/2Aεo

So, net charge across a capacitor, q=CV

F=C2V22Aε0      C=Aε0d

=>F=Aε0d  x CV22Aε0   

=CV22d

A conducting sphere of radius R is given a charge Q. The electric potential and field at the centre of the sphere respectively are

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

For a uniformly charged spherical conductor, the electric potential inside the sphere is constant and equal to Q/4πϵ₀R, while the electric field inside is zero due to the cancellation of fields from different parts of the charge distribution.

In a region, the potential is represented by V(x,y,z)=6x-8xy-8y+6yz, where V is in volts and x,y,z are in meters. The electric force experienced by a charge of 2 coulomb situated at point (1,1,1) is

Explanation

We know 

F=qE ...(i)

E=-dV/dr

Ex=δV/δx=6-8y

Ey=δV/δy=-8x-8+6z ...(ii)

Ez=6y

Above values of Ex,Ey and Ez at (1,1,1) are 

Ex=6-8 x (1)=-2

Ey=-8(1)-8+6(1)=-10 

Ez=6 x1=6

So, Enet=√(-2)2+(10)2+(6)2

=√4+100+36=√140 =>√35x4=2√35 N/C

So, F=qEnet=2(2√35)=4√35N

Four point charges -Q,-q,2q and 2Q are placed, one at each corner of the square.The relation between Q and q for which the potential at the centre of the square is zero, is

Explanation

If potential at centre is zero, then

V1+V2+V3+V4=0
