Question

A parallel-plate capacitor having plate area 400cm² and separation between the plates 1.0mm is connected to a power supply of 100V. A dielectric slab of thickness 1.0mm and dielectric constant 5.0 is inserted into the gap:

Find the increase in electrostatic energy.
If the power supply is now disconnected and the dielectric slab is taken out, find the further increase in energy.
Why does the energy increase in inserting the slab as well as in taking it out?

Answer

A = 400cm² = 4 × 10^-2m²
d = 1cm = 1 × 10^-3m
V = 160V
t = 0.5 = 5 × 10^-4m
k = 5
$\text{C}=\frac{\in_0\text{A}}{\text{d}-\text{t}+\frac{\text{t}}{\text{k}}}$
$=\frac{8.85\times10^{-12}\times4\times10^{-2}}{10^{-3}-5\times10^{-4}+\frac{5\times10^{-4}}{5}}$
$=\frac{35.4\times10^{-4}}{10^{-3}-0.5}$

(a) A point-image (object) is placed on the principal axis of a convex spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$, the refractive index of the medium on one side of this surface is $n _1$ and the refractive index of the medium on the other side is $n_2$, where $n_2>n_1$. For this, draw a ray diagram and derive the relation between object distance $(u)$, image distance $(v)$ and radius of curvature $( R )$ for refraction from rarer medium to denser medium on a convex spherical surface.
(b) Use the above relation in terms of $n_1$ and $n_2$, to obtain the condition for the position of the object and the radius of curvature when a real image is formed.
