B$R_2$
C$R_1$

C$R_1$
c (c) During the discharge of a capacitor through a resistance charge at any instant $Q = {Q_0}{e^{ - t/CR}}$
$⇒$ $\frac{{{Q_0}}}{Q} = {e^{t/CR}}$ $⇒$ $t = CR\,{\log _e}\,\frac{{{Q_0}}}{Q}$
If $Q$ $⇒$ constant, then $t$ $\propto$ $R$
Now, draw a line parallel to the time axis as shown. Suppose this line cut the graphs at points $1,\, 2$ and $3$. Corresponding time are $t_1$, $t_2$ and $t_3$ respectively. Hence from graph $t_1 < t_2 < t_3$
$⇒$ $R_1 < R_2 < R_3$

Figure shows two equipotential lines in $x, y$ plane for an electric field. The scales are marked. The $x-$ component $E_x$ and $y$ -component $E_y$ of the electric field in the space between these equipotential lines are respectively :-
The magnitude of electric field on the surface of a uniformly charged metalic spherical shell is $E$. If a hole is made in it using a insulating device, then the magnitude of electric field in the hole will be
A capacitor is half filled with a dielectric $(K=2)$ as shown in figure A. If the same capacitor is to be filled with same dielectric as shown, what would be the thickness of dielectric so that capacitor still has same capacity?
