    The capacitance of a metallic sphere will be 1mF, if its radius is nearly

    Solution

    The expression of capacitance of metallic sphere is C=4πϵ0​r (The capacitance of a single spherical conductor means that we imagine a spherical shell of infinite radius surrounding the first conductor.)
    Therefore,

    The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is C. Its capacity when the separation between the plates is halved will be

    Solution

    The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is given as,
    C=εA/​d
    When the separation between the plates is halved then the new capacity of the condenser is given as,
    C′=εA​/(d/2)​
    C′=2C

    Solution

    Given,
    C1=0.5 mf
    C2=0.2mf
    V=100v
    So,
    U=(1/2) CTV2
    CT=C1C2/XC1+C2=(0.5x0.2/0.5+0.2)mf
    CT=0.14mf
    U=(1/2)(0.14mf)(100V)2
    =(10.07x1-6x104)J
    =(7x10-2x10-6x104)J
    =7x10-4J

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Two spherical conductors of capacitance 3.0mF and 5.0mF are charged to potentials of 300volt and 500volt. The two are connected resulting in redistribution of charges. Then the final potential is

    Solution

    First find the charge in 1st capacitor
    Q1= C1xV1
    =0.003*300
    =0.9 C
    Similarly, find Q2
    i.e. Q2=2.5 C
    After connecting the capacitors in parallel you get a net capacitance C=8 mF (c1+c2).
    Thus, final potential is V=Q/C
    Q=Q1+Q2=3.4 C
    V=3.4/0.008
    = 425 V
     

  • Question 11

    A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a battery and is charged to a potential difference V. Another capacitor of capacitance 2C is similarly charged to a potential difference 2V. The charging battery is now disconnected and the capacitors are connect in parallel to each other in such a way that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of the configuration is

    Solution

    Where N is the number of turns of the toroid coil, I is the amount of current flowing and r is the radius of the toroid.
    As both capacitors are in parallel so equivalent capacitance Ceq​=C+2C=3C .
    Net potential, Vn​=2V−V=V
    Energy stored, U=(1/2)​Ceq​Vn2​=(1/2)×3CV2=(3/2)​CV2

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

    A 2μF capacitor is charged to a potential = 10 V. Another 4μF capacitor is charged to a potential = 20V. The two capacitors are then connected in a single loop, with the positive plate of one connected with negative plate of the other. What heat is evolved in the circuit?

    Solution

    Charge on 2μf capacitor=10vx2μF=20μC=Q1
    Charge on 4μf capacitor=4μFx20v=80μC=Q2
    Now, these capacitors are connected in a single loop in given manner,

    Now after transfer,

    Applying loop rule,
    (q/2)+[(60+q)/4]=0=>q=-20μC

    Now, drop across the capacitors is,
    ΔVf=40/4v=10v
    Final energy stored in capacitor=Uf
    = (1/2) (C1+C2)(ΔVf)2=1/2 x6 x100uf=300 μf
    Initial energy stored in capacitor=Ui
    = (1/2) C1V12+(1/2) C2V22=(1/2)x2x100+ (1/2)x4x400=900 μf
    Now, heat evolved in the circuit will be,
    Ui-Uf= (900-300) μf=600 μf
    Thus, the correct answer would be option B.

    Solution


    At equilibrium,
    Felectric=Fspring
    qE=kx ____(1)
    we know that,
    C=Q/V
    And V=ε.d
    C=Aε0/d
    Therefore, ε=θ/Aε0
    Here, ε=q/ Aε0
    Putting the value in the equation (1)
    q/ Aε0=kx
    x=q2/akε0

  • Question 15

    Solution

    ⇒q1​+q2​+q3​=0
    ⇒C1​(Vo​−VA​)+C2​(Vo​−VB​)+C3​(Vo​−VD​)=0
    ⇒(C1​+C2​+C3​)Vo​=C1​VA​+C2​VB​+C3​VD
    Vo​= C1​VA​+C2​VB​+C3​VD​​/ C1​+C2​+C3
    = [(1×10)+(2×25)+(3×20)​]/(1+2+3)
    =(10+50+60)/6
    ​=20Volts

     

  • Question 16
    1 / -0

    Five capacitors are connected as shown in the figure. Initially S is opened and all capacitors are uncharged. When S is closed, steady state is obtained. Then find out potential difference between the points M and N.

      

    Solution

    Five capacitors 4μF, 2μF, 4μF, 6μF and 1.2μF are connected as shown in the figure.
    Here, Equivalent capacitance = ½,
    EMF = 24
    Thus, charge passes through each capacitor = 12 μC
    Voltage across 4μF = 3V
    Voltage across 6μF = 2V
    => Potential difference (V):
    V = 3 + 7+ 2 = 12V
    Thus, potential difference (V) between the two given points M and N is 12v.
     

  • Question 17
    1 / -0

    Find the potential difference Va - Vb between the points a and b shows in each parts of the figure.

    Solution

    a.In this figure, the left and the right branch is symmetry. So the current go to the branch 'ab' for both sides are opposite and equal. Hence it cancels out.
    Thus, net charge, Q= 0. ∴V=Q/C​=0/C​=0
    ∴Vab​=0
    b.The net potential, V= Net charge /Net capacitance ​=C1​V1​+C2​V2​+C3​V3/7​​
    V=(24+24+24​)/7=72/7​=10.28V

    Solution

    Given,
    Area of plate-S
    Initial distance=X1
    Final distance=X2
    Charge given, q
    Initial capacitance
    C1=Sε/ X1
    Energy stored
    V1=q2/2C=q2/2(Sε/X1)
    U1= q2X1/2Sε
    Final capacitance
    C2= Sε/X2
    Energy stored,
    U2= q2 x2/2Sε
    Amount of work done=Change in stored energy between capacitor
    =Uf-Ui=U2-U1
    =(q2X2/2Sε)- (q2X1/2Sε)
    Work done=q2/2Sε (X2-X1)

  • Question 19
    1 / -0

    Each plate of a parallel plate air capacitor has an area S. What amount of work has to be performed to slowly increase the distance between the plates from x1 to x2 If the voltage across the capacitor, which is equal to V, is kept constant in the process.

    Solution

    When voltage is kept const., the force acing on each plate of capacitor will depend on the distance between the plates. 
    From energy conversion,
    Uf-Ui=Acell+Aagent
    Or,(1/2)(ε0S/x2)V2-(1/2)(ε0S/x1)V2
    =[(ε0S/x2)- (ε0S/x1)] V2 +Aagent
    (as Acell=(qf-q1)V=(Cf-Ci)V2)
    So, Aagent= (ε0SV2/2)[(1/x1)-)1/x2)]

  • Question 20
    1 / -0

    If charge on left plane of the 5F capacitor in the circuit segment shown in the figure is-20C, the charge on the right plate of 3F capacitor is

    Solution

    If the charge on left plate of 5μF is −20μC, then the charge on right plate of 5μF is +20μC
    So due to the polarization the charge on the left plate of 3μF is negative and the charge on the right plate of 3μF is positive.
    thus,  charge on right plate of 3μF is Q=[3/(3+4)]×20=60/7​=8.57μC

  • Question 21
    1 / -0

    In the circuit shown, the energy stored in 1μF capacitor is

    Solution

    The capacitance 4 and (3,5,1) are in parallel so potential across (3,5,1) will be V=24V.
    The equivalent capacitance of (3,5,1) is Ceq​=3(5+1)/{3+(5+1)}​=2μF
    and Qeq​=Ceq​V=2×24=48μC
    As 3 and (5,1) are in series so charge on 3 and (5,1) is equal to Qeq​.
    Thus potential across (5,1) is V51​= Qeq​​/C51​=48/(5+1)​=8V
    As 5 and 1 are in parallel so potential difference of capacitors will be same i.e 8V
    Now energy stored in 1 is =(1/2)​C1​V512​=(1/2)​×10−6×82=32μJ

  • Question 22

    A capacitor C1 = 4mF is connected in series with another capacitor C2 = 1mF. The combination is connected across a d.c. source of voltage 200V. The ratio of potential across C1 and C2 is

    Solution

    Voltage in series connections are,
    V1=C2/{(C1+C2) x V}  V2={C1/(C1+C2)xV}]
    V1=(1/S) x 200
    V2=(4/S) x200
    Ration, V1/V2=((1/S) x200)/((4/S)x200)=1:4

  • Question 26
    1 / -0

    In the transient shown the time constant of the circuit is :

    Solution

    Applying Thevenin's theorem we consider the circuit from right side and short circuiting the voltage sources and opening the extreme right resistance we get the equivalent resistance
    =1/Rth​​=(1/3R)​+(1/R)​=4/3R=3R/4​ Rth​=Thevenin’s resistance
    So now adding the remaining resistance R with Rth​ in series we get the equivalent resistance 
    Req​=(3R/4)​+R=7R/4​
    And time constant τ=RC
    τ=(7/4)​RC
