A parallel plate capacitor is formed by two plates each of area $30 \pi\, cm ^{2}$ separated by $1\, mm$. A material of dielectric strength $3.6 \times 10^{7} \,Vm ^{-1}$ is filled between the plates. If the maximum charge that can be stored on the capacitor without causing any dielectric breakdown is $7 \times 10^{-6}\, C$, the value of dielectric constant of the material is
$\left\{ Use : \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} Nm ^{2} C ^{-2}\right\}$
An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in figure.If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the surface carries a uniform charge density $ '\sigma '$
If a point charge $q_A$ is placed at the center of the shell, then choose the correct statement $(s)$
An electric dipole when placed in a uniform electric field $E$ will have minimum potential energy, when the angle made by dipole moment with field $E$ is
Two capacitor having capacitances $8\ \mu F$ and $16\ \mu F$ have breaking voltages $20\ V$ and $80\ V$. They are combined in series. The maximum charge they can store individually in the combination is...... $\mu C$
There is an air filled $1\,pF$ parallel plate capacitor. When the plate separation is doubled and the space is filled with wax, the capacitance increases to $2\,pF$. The dielectric constant of wax is
