EASY
12th CBSE
IMPORTANT

A fully charged parallel plate capacitor is connected across an uncharged identical capacitor. Show that the energy stored in the combination is less than that stored initially in the single capacitor.

EASY

IMPORTANT

Define the terms the capacitance of a capacitor. When a dielectric is inserted between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor, fully occupying the intervening region, how does the polarization of the dielectric medium affect the net electric field? For linear dielectrics, show that the introduction of a dielectric increases its capacitance by a factor k, characteristic of the dielectric.

Define the terms dielectric strength of a dielectric. When a dielectric is inserted between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor, fully occupying the intervening region, how does the polarization of the dielectric medium affect the net electric field? For linear dielectrics, show that the introduction of a dielectric increases its capacitance by a factor k, characteristic of the dielectric.

IMPORTANT

A small sphere, of radius a, carrying a positive charge q, is placed concentrically inside a larger hollow conducting shell of radius b(b>a). This outer shell has a charge Q on it. Show that if these spheres are connected by a conducting wire, charge will always flow from the inner sphere to the outer sphere, irrespective of the magnitude of the two charges.
