Two identical capacitors are joined in parallel, charged to potential $V$, separated and then, connected in series, $i.e.$, the positive plate of one is connected to the negative plate of the other. Then
A parallel plate capacitor is charged to a certain potential and the charging battery is then disconnected. Now, if the plates of the capacitor are moved apart then:
The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is $5\,\mu F$. When a glass plate is placed between the plates of the conductor, its potential becomes $1/8^{th}$ of the original value. The value of dielectric constant will be
There are two equipotential surface as shown in figure. The distance between them is $r$. The charge of $-q\,$ coulomb is taken from the surface $A$ to $B$, the resultant work done will be
A $10\,\mu F$ capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $50\;V$ and is connected to another uncharged capacitor in parallel. Now the common potential difference becomes $20\;volt$. The capacitance of second capacitor is....$\mu F$
In the figure shown, after the switch $‘S’$ is turned from position $‘A’$ to position $‘B’$, the energy dissipated in the circuit in terms of capacitance $‘C’$ and total charge $‘Q’$ is
Uniform electric field of magnitude $100$ $V/m$ in space is directed along the line $y = 3 + x$. Find the potential difference between point $A$ $ (3, 1)$ $\&$ $B$ $(1, 3)$.......$V$
