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 $\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}=\frac{1}{\text{k}}$

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

$\Rightarrow\text{k}=3$

A mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying frequency dependence of photoelectric emission, since it gives a number of spectral lines ranging from the UV to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with rubidium photo-cell, the following lines from a mercury source were used:
$\lambda_1=3650\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_2=4047\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_3=4358\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_4=5461\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_5=6907\ \mathring{\text{A}},$
The stopping voltages, respectively, were measured to be:
V01 = 1.28 V, V02 = 0.95 V, V03 = 0.74 V, V04 = 0.16 V, V05 = 0 V
Determine the value of Planck’s constant h, the threshold frequency and work function for the material.
[Note: You will notice that to get h from the data, you will need to know e (which you can take to be 1.6 × 10–19 C). Experiments of this kind on Na, Li, K, etc. were performed by Millikan, who, using his own value of e (from the oil-drop experiment) confirmed Einstein’s photoelectric equation and at the same time gave an independent estimate of the value of h.]
