What are polar and non-polar molecules ?
A parallel plate capacitor has two layers of dielectrics as shown in fig. This capacitor is connected across a battery, then the ratio of potential difference across the dielectric layers is
Two identical capacitors $1$ and $2$ are connected in series to a battery as shown in figure. Capacitor $2$ contains a dielectric slab of dielectric constant k as shown. $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are the charges stored in the capacitors. Now the dielectric slab is removed and the corresponding charges are $Q’_1$ and $Q’_2$. Then
A parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $A$ separated by distance $d$ between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as $\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{K}(1+\alpha \mathrm{x})$ where $\mathrm{x}$ is the distance measured from one of the plates. If $(\alpha \text {d)}<<1,$ the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression
Two capacitors, each having capacitance $40\,\mu F$ are connected in series. The space between one of the capacitors is filled with dielectric material of dielectric constant $K$ such that the equivalence capacitance of the system became $24\,\mu F$. The value of $K$ will be.
A spherical capacitor has an inner sphere of radius $12 \;cm$ and an outer sphere of radius $13\; cm .$ The outer sphere is earthed and the inner sphere is given a charge of $2.5\; \mu \,C .$ The space between the concentric spheres is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $32$
$(a)$ Determine the capacitance of the capacitor.
$(b)$ What is the potential of the inner sphere?
$(c)$ Compare the capacitance of this capacitor with that of an isolated sphere of radius $12 \;cm .$ Explain why the latter is much smaller.
