The electrostatic force between the metal plates of an isolated parallel plate capacitor having a charge and area is:
1. | independent of the distance between the plates. |
2. | linearly proportional to the distance between the plates. |
3. | proportional to the square root of the distance between the plates. |
4. | inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. |
The diagrams below show regions of equipotentials.
1. | the maximum work is required to move in figure(iii). |
2. | in all four cases, the work done is the same. |
3. | the minimum work is required to move in the figure(i). |
4. | the maximum work is required to move in figure(ii). |
A capacitor is charged by a battery. The battery is removed and another identical uncharged capacitor is connected in parallel. The total electrostatic energy of the resulting system:
1. | decreases by a factor of |
2. | remains the same |
3. | increases by a factor of |
4. | increases by a factor of |
A parallel-plate capacitor of area A, plate separation d, and capacitance C is filled with four dielectric materials having dielectric constants and as shown in the figure below. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance C in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant k is given by
