A conducting body $1$ has some initial charge $Q$, and its capacitance is $C$. There are two other conducting bodies, $2$ and $3$, having capacitances : $C_2 = 2C$ and $C_3 \rightarrow \infty$ . Bodies $2 $ and $3 $ are initially uncharged. "Body $2$ is touched with body $1$. Then, body $2$ is removed from body $1 $ and touched with body $3$, and then removed." This process is repeated $N$ times. Then, the charge on body $1$ at the end must be
A$Q/3^N$
B$Q/3^{N-1}$
C$Q/N^3$

A$Q/3^N$
a When we touched first time charge on first capacitor beacomes $\frac{Q}{3}$ and on second capacitor it becomes $\frac{2 Q}{3}$ But when $2 C$ is touched with $C \rightarrow \infty$ it becomes uncharged so after first operation.
$Q_{1}=\frac{Q}{3}$
after $I I^{n d}$ operation $Q_{2}=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{Q}{3}\right)=\frac{Q}{3^{2}}$
so after $N^{t h}$ operation $Q_{N}=\frac{Q}{3^{N}}$

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $90\ pF$ is connected to a battery of $emf$ $20\ V$. If a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K = \frac{5}{3}$ is inserted between the plates, the magnitude of the induced charge will be.......$n $ $C$
Two identical capacitors, have the same capacitance $C$. One of them is charged to potential ${V_1}$ and the other to ${V_2}$. The negative ends of the capacitors are connected together. When the positive ends are also connected, the decrease in energy of the combined system is
The potential due to an electrostatic charge distribution is $V(r)=\frac{q e^{-\alpha e r}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r}$, where $\alpha$ is positive. The net charge within a sphere centred at the origin and of radius $1/ \alpha$ is
