Question
A capacitor stores $50\mu\text{C}$ charge when connected across a battery. When the gap between the plates is filled with a dielectric, a charge of $100\mu\text{C}$ flows through the battery. Find the dielectric constant of the material inserted.

Answer


Initial charge stored $=50\mu\text{c}$

Let the dielectric constant of the material induced be ‘k’.

Now, when the extra charge flown through battery is 100.

So, net charge stored in capacitor $=150\mu\text{c}$

Now, $\text{C}_1=\frac{\in_0\text{A}}{\text{d}}$ or $\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{V}}=\frac{\in_0\text{A}}{\text{d}}\ \dots(1)$

$\text{C}_2=\frac{\in_0\text{Ak}}{\text{d}}$ or $\frac{\text{q}_2}{\text{V}}=\frac{\in_0\text{Ak}}{\text{d}}\ \dots(2)$

Dividing (1) and (2) we get $\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}=\frac{1}{\text{k}}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{50}{150}=\frac{1}{\text{k}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{k}=3$

Two vessels A and B of equal volume V0 are connected by a narrow tube that can be closed by a valve. The vessels are fitted with pistons that can be moved to change the volumes. Initially, the valve is open and the vessels contain an ideal gas $\Big(\frac{\text{C}_\text{P}}{\text{C}_\text{V}}=\gamma\Big)$ at atmospheric pressure p0 and atmospheric temperature T0. The walls of vessel A are diathermic and those of B are adiabatic. The valve is now closed and the pistons are slowly pulled out to increase the volumes of the vessels to double the original value.
  1. Find the temperatures and pressures in the two vessels.
  2. The valve is now opened for sufficient time so that the gases acquire a common temperature and pressure. Find the new values of the temperature and pressure.
