MCQ
Plates $A$ and $B$ constitute an isolated, charge parallel-plate capacitor. The inner surfaces ($I$ and $IV$) of $A$ and $B$ have charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ respectively. Athird plate $C$ with charge $+$$Q$ is now introduced midway between $A$ and $B$. Which of the following statements is not correct?
  • A
    The surfaces $I$ and $II$ will have equal and opposite charges.
  • B
    The surfaces $III$ and $IV$ will have equal and opposite charges.
  • C
    the charge on surface $III$ will be greater than $Q$.
  • The potential difference between $A$ and $C$ will be equal to the potential difference between $C$ and $B$.

Answer

Correct option: D.
The potential difference between $A$ and $C$ will be equal to the potential difference between $C$ and $B$.
d
Final charge distribution on plate
