A closed surface S is constructed around a conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch $($figure$)$. As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface $S$ is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:
→One plano-convex and one plano-concave lens of same radius of curvature $‘R’$ but of different materials are joined side by side as shown in the figure. If the refractive index of the material of $1$ is $\mu_1$ and that of $2$ is $\mu _2$, then the focal length of the combination is

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor a dielectric plate is introduced just to fill the space between the plates. The capacitor is charged and later disconnected from the battery. The dielectric plate is slowly drawn out of the capacitor parallel to the plates. The plot of the potential difference across the plates and the length of the dielectric plate drawn out is
