MCQ
Two charged parallel plate capacitors, each with separation between plates equal to $d$, are separated by a large distance $L >> d$. Then the force of interaction between them is proportional to
  • A
    $1/{d^2}$
  • ${d^2}/{L^4}$
  • C
    $1/{d^3}$
  • D
    ${d^2}/{L^3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
${d^2}/{L^4}$
b
For large separation capacitor can be treated as dipole and dipole moment $\propto$ $\mathrm{d}$

Force $\propto \frac{\mathrm{p}_{1} \mathrm{p}_{2}}{\mathrm{L}^{4}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{F} \propto \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2}}{\mathrm{L}^{4}}(\because \mathrm{p} \propto \mathrm{d})$
