c (c) Charges developed are same so ${C_1}{V_1} = {C_2}{V_2}$ $==>$ $\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}} = 2$
${V_1} + {V_2} = 120$ $==>$ ${V_1} = 80\,volts$

Two charged capacitors have their outer plates fixed and inner plates connected by a spring of force constant ' $k$ '. The charge on each capacitor is q. Find the extension in the spring at equilibrium
A problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn at $90^o$ corner. This can be done with the electric field present between the parallel plates as shown in the figure. An electron with kinetic energy $8.0 × 10^{-17}\ J$ enters through a small hole in the bottom plate. The strength of electric field that is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole $1.0\ cm$ away from the entrance hole, traveling at right angles to its original direction is $y × 10^5\ N/C$ . The value of $y$ is
In the circuit shown in figure, four capacitors are connected to a battery. A capacitor is connected to a battery. The force of attraction between the plates when the separation between them is halved
At distance of $5$ $cm$ and $10$ $cm $ outwards from the surface of a uniformly charged solid sphere, the potentials are $100$ $V$ and $75$ $V$ respectively . Then
A condenser of capacity ${C_1}$ is charged to a potential ${V_0}$. The electrostatic energy stored in it is ${U_0}$. It is connected to another uncharged condenser of capacity ${C_2}$ in parallel. The energy dissipated in the process is
In the given circuit, charge $Q_2$ on the $2\ μF$ capacitor changes as $C$ is varied from $1\ μF$ to $3\ μF$. $Q_2$ as a function of '$C$' is given properly by: (figures are drawn schematically and are not to scale)
The electrostatic potential inside a charged spherical ball is given by : $V = b -ar^2$, where $r$ is the distance from the centre ; $a$ and $b$ are constants. Then, the charge density inside the ball is :
