Two identical thin metal plates has charge $q _{1}$ and $q _{2}$ respectively such that $q _{1}> q _{2}$. The plates were brought close to each other to form a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$. The potential difference between them is.
$\frac{\left(q_{1}+q_{2}\right)}{C}$
$\frac{\left( q _{1}- q _{2}\right)}{ C }$
$\frac{\left(q_{1}-q_{2}\right)}{2 C}$
$\frac{2\left(q_{1}-q_{2}\right)}{C}$
$64$ drops each having the capacity $C$ and potential $V$ are combined to form a big drop. If the charge on the small drop is $q$, then the charge on the big drop will be
Answer carefully:
$(a)$ Two large conducting spheres carrying charges $Q _{1}$ and $Q _{2}$ are brought close to each other. Is the magnitude of electrostatic force between them exactly given by $Q _{1} Q _{2} / 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r^{2},$ where $r$ is the distance between their centres?
$(b)$ If Coulomb's law involved $1 / r^{3}$ dependence (instead of $1 / r^{2}$ ), would Gauss's law be still true?
$(c)$ $A$ small test charge is released at rest at a point in an electrostatic field configuration. Will it travel along the field line passing through that point?
$(d)$ What is the work done by the field of a nucleus in a complete circular orbit of the electron? What if the orbit is elliptical?
$(e)$ We know that electric field is discontinuous across the surface of a charged conductor. Is electric potential also discontinuous there?
$(f)$ What meaning would you give to the capacitance of a single conductor?
$(g)$ Guess a possible reason why water has a much greater dielectric constant $(=80)$ than say, mica $(=6)$
Two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ are charged to $120\ V$ and $200\ V$ respectively. It is found that connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then
The capacitance $(C)$ for an isolated conducting sphere of radius $(a)$ is given by $4\pi \varepsilon_0a$. If the sphere is enclosed with an earthed concentric sphere. The ratio of the radii of the spheres $\frac{n}{{(n - 1)}}$ being then the capacitance of such a sphere will be increased by a factor
Assertion : The total charge stored in a capacitor is zero.
Reason : The field just outside the capacitor is $\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$. ( $\sigma $ is the charge density).
