(IMAGE)

$[A]$ The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is $-\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{2 \varepsilon_0}\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$

$[B]$ Total flux through the curved and the flat surfaces is $\frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0}$

$[C]$ The component of the electric field normal to the flat surface is constant over the surface

$[D]$ The circumference of the flat surface is an equipotential

    The lower plate of a parallel plate capacitor is supported on a rigid rod. The upper plate is suspended from one end of a balance. The two plates are joined together by a thin wire and subsequently disconnected. The balance is then counterpoised. Now a voltage $V = 5000\, volt$ is applied between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d =5\, mm$ and the area of each plate is $A = 100 cm^2.$ Then find out the additional mass placed to maintain balance.......$g$ [All the elements other than plates are massless and nonconducting] :-
