C$2 : 3$
c In the first case, $3 \mathrm{C}$ and $2 \mathrm{C}$ are parallel. Equivalent capacitance is,
$\frac{c}{3}+\frac{c}{2}=\frac{5 c}{6}$
In the second case $1 \mathrm{C} \& 4 \mathrm{C}$ are parallel.
Ratio $=\frac{5 \mathrm{C}}{6} \times \frac{4}{5 \mathrm{C}}=2: 3$

The magnitude of electric field on the surface of a uniformly charged metalic spherical shell is $E$. If a hole is made in it using a insulating device, then the magnitude of electric field in the hole will be
In a parallel plate capacitor the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $2$ is introduced between the plates due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity to the original value the separation between the plates must be made......$mm$
An electric charge $10^{-3}\ \mu C$ is placed at the origin $(0, 0)$ of $X-Y$ coordinate system. Two points $A$ and $B$ are situated at $(\sqrt 2 ,\sqrt 2 )$ and $(2, 0)$ respectively. The potential difference between the points $A$ and $B$ will be......$V$
The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is $10\,\mu F$ without dielectric. Dielectric of constant $2$ is used to fill half the distance between the plates, the new capacitance in $\mu F$ is
A parallel plate capacitor has capacitance $C$. If it is equally filled with parallel layers of materials of dielectric constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ its capacity becomes $C_1$. The ratio of $C_1$ to $C$ is
The charge across the capacitor in two different $RC$ circuits $1$ and $2$ are plotted as shown in figure. Choose the correct statement $(s)$ related to the two circuits.
As shown in figure, on bringing a charge $Q$ from point $A$ to $B$ and from $B$ to $C$, the work done are $2\, joule$ and $-3\, joule$ respectively. The work done to bring the charge from $C$ to $A$ is
A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $12.5 \mathrm{pF}$ is charged by a battery connected between its plates to potential difference of $12.0 \mathrm{~V}$. The battery is now disconnected and a dielectric slab $\left(\in_{\mathrm{r}}=6\right)$ is inserted between the plates. The change in its potential energy after inserting the dielectric slab is_______.$\times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~J}$.
