Question
Two capacitors having capacitance $C _{1}$ and $C _{2}$ respectively are connected as shown in figure. Initially, capacitor $C _{1}$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ volt by a battery. The battery is then removed and the charged capacitor $C_{1}$ is now connected to uncharged capacitor $C _{2}$ by closing the switch $S$. The amount of charge on the capacitor $C _{2}$, after equilibrium is

Answer

Charge on capacitor $C _{2}$

$=\frac{ C _{2} \times Q _{\text {total }}}{ C _{\text {total }}}=\frac{ C _{2}\left[ C _{1} V \right]}{ C _{1}+ C _{2}}=\frac{ C _{1} C _{2} V }{ C _{1}+ C _{2}}$

$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.)

An optical arrangement consists of two concave mirrors $M_1$ and $M_2$, and a convex lens $L$ with a common principal axis, as shown in the figure. The focal length of $L$ is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$. The radii of curvature of $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $24 \mathrm{~cm}$, respectively. The distance between $\mathrm{L}$ and $M_2$ is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. A point object $S$ is placed at the mid-point between $L$ and $M_2$ on the axis. When the distance between $\mathrm{L}$ and $M_1$ is $n / 7 \mathrm{~cm}$, one of the images coincides with $S$. The value of $n$ is. . . .
