Voltage rating of a parallel plate capacitor is $500\,V$. Its dielectric can withstand a maximum electric field of ${10^6}\,\frac{V}{m}$. The plate area is $10^{-4}\, m^2$ . What is the dielectric constant if the capacitance is $15\, pF$ ? (given ${ \in _0} = 8.86 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,{C^2}\,/N{m^2}$)
A spherical condenser has inner and outer spheres of radii $a$ and $b$ respectively. The space between the two is filled with air. The difference between the capacities of two condensers formed when outer sphere is earthed and when inner sphere is earthed will be
The charges on two plates of a $10\,\mu f$ capacitor are $5\,\mu C$ and $15\,\mu C$ then the potential difference across the capacitor plates is........$V$
Consider the situation shown in the figure. The capacitor $A$ has a charge $q$ on it whereas $B$ is uncharged. The charge appearing on the capacitor $B$ a long time after the switch is closed is
Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2 r$. A point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r / 2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2 r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be
A parallel plate capacitor has potential $20\,kV$ and capacitance $2\times10^{-4}\,\mu F$. If area of plate is $0.01\,m^2$ and distance between the plates is $2\,mm$ then find dielectric constant of medium
Two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2 = 2C_1$ are connected in a circuit with a switch between them as shown in the figure. Initially the switch is open and $C_1$ holds charge $Q$. The switch is closed. At steady state, the charge on each capacitor will be
Condenser $A$ has a capacity of $15\,\mu F$ when it is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $15$. Another condenser $B$ has a capacity of $1\,\mu F$ with air between the plates. Both are charged separately by a battery of $100\;V$. After charging, both are connected in parallel without the battery and the dielectric medium being removed. The common potential now is.....$V$
