A point charge $2 \times 10^{-2}\,C$ is moved from $P$ to $S$ in a uniform electric field of $30\,NC ^{-1}$ directed along positive $x$-axis. If coordinates of $P$ and $S$ are $(1,2$, $0) m$ and $(0,0,0) m$ respectively, the work done by electric field will be $.........\,mJ$
For changing the capacitance of a given parallel plate capacitor, a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ is used, which has the same area as the plates of the capacitor. The thickness of the dielectric slab is $\frac{3}{4} d$, where $'d'$ is the separation between the plates of parallel plate capacitor. The new capacitance $(C')$ in terms of original capacitance $\left( C _{0}\right)$ is given by the following relation
