Suppose the density of air at Madras is $P_0$ and atomospheric pressure is $P_0$. If we go up, the density and the pressure both decrease. Suppose we wish to calculate the pressure at a height 10km above Madras. If we use the equation $P_0- P =$ pogz, will we get a pressure more than the actual or less than the actual? Neglect the variation in g. Does your answer change if you also consider the variation in g?

When electric dipole is placed in uniform electric field, its two charges experience equal and opposite forces, which cancel each other and hence net force on electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero. However, these forces are not collinear, so they give rise to some torque on the dipole. Since net force on electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero, so no work is done in moving the electric dipole in uniform electric field. However, some work is done in rotating the dipole against the torque acting on it.

  2. $\vec{\tau}=\vec{\text{P}}\cdot\vec{\text{E}}$

The simplest and the most widely used capacitor is the parallel plate capacitor. It consists of two large plane parallel conducting plates, separated by a small distance. In the outer regions above the upper plate and below the lower plate, the electric fields due to the two charged plates cancel out. The net field is zero. In the inner region between the two capacitor plates, the electric fields due to the two charged plates add up. The net field is $\frac{\sigma}{\in_0}.$

For a uniform electric field, potential difference between the plates = Electric field x distance between the plates. Capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is the charge required to supplied to either of the conductors of the capacitor so as to increase the potential difference between then by unit amount.
