Five identical plates each of area $A$ are joined as shown in the figure. The distance between the plates is $d$. The plates are connected to a potential difference of $V\;volts$. The charge on plates $1$ and $4$ will be
c (c)The given circuit can be redrawn as follows. All capacitors are identical and each having capacitance $C = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}$
|Charge on each capacitor $| = |$ Charge on each plate|
$ = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}V$
Plate $1$ is connected with positive terminal of battery so charge on it will be $ + \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}.V$
Plate $4$ comes twice and it is connected with negative terminal of battery, so charge on plate $4$ will be $ - \frac{{2{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d}V$

Two spherical conductors $A$ and $B$ of radii $a$ and $b$ $(b > a)$ are placed concentrically in air. The two are connected by a copper wire as shown in figure. Then the equivalent capacitance of the system is
The capacities and connection of five capacitors are shown in the adjoining figure. The potential difference between the points $A$ and $B$ is $60\;volts$. Then the equivalent capacity between $A$ and $B$ and the charge on $5\,\mu F$ capacitance will be respectively
Four point charges $-Q, -q, 2q$ and $2Q$ are placed, one at each comer of the square. The relation between $Q$ and $q$ for which the potential at the centre of the square is zero is
A parallel plate capacitor with plate separation $5$ $\mathrm{mm}$ is charged up by a battery. It is found that on introducing a dielectric sheet of thickness $2 \mathrm{~mm}$, while keeping the battery connections intact, the capacitor draws $25 \%$ more charge from the battery than before. The dielectric constant of the sheet is_____.
The electric potential $V$ is given as a function of distance $x$ (metre) by $V = (5{x^2} + 10x - 9)\,volt$. Value of electric field at $x = 1$ is......$V/m$
A parallel plate capacitor has two layers of dielectrics as shown in fig. This capacitor is connected across a battery, then the ratio of potential difference across the dielectric layers is
If ${q}_{{f}}$ is the free charge on the capacitor plates and ${q}_{{b}}$ is the bound charge on the dielectric slab of dielectric constant $k$ placed between the capacitor plates, then bound charge $q_{b}$ can be expressed as
