B$F/2$
b (b) Initially $F = qE$ and $E = \frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$
$F = \frac{{q\sigma }}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$
If one plate is removed, then $E$ becomes $\frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}$
So $F' = \frac{{q\sigma }}{{2{\varepsilon _0}}} = \frac{F}{2}$

The two plates $X $ and $Y$ of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ are given a charge of amount $Q$ each. $X$ is now joined to the positive terminal and $Y$ to the negative terminal of a cell of $emf$ $E = Q/C$.
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is $C$ when the region between the plate has air. This region is now filled with a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $k$. The capacitor is connected to a cell of $emf$ $E$, and the slab is taken out
The following arrangement consists of five identical metal plates parallel to each other. Area of each plate is $A$ and separation between the successive plates is $d$. The capacitance between $P$ and $Q$ is
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......$V$
Consider a spherical shell of radius $R$ with a total charge $+ Q$ uniformly spread on its surface (centre of the shell lies at the origin $x=0$ ). Two point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are brought, one after the other from far away and placed at $x=-a / 2$ and $x=+a / 2( < R)$, respectively. Magnitude of the work done in this process is
Four charges $2C, -3C, -4C$ and $5C$ respectively are placed at all the corners of a square. Which of the following statements is true for the point of intersection of the diagonals ?
In the figure shown below, the charge on the left plate of the $10\, \mu F$ capacitor is $-30\,\mu C.$ The charge on the right place of the $6\,\mu F$ capacitor is.....$\mu C$
