A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance is as shown. A thin metal plate is placed between the plates of the given capacitor in such a way that its edges touch the two plates as shown. The capacity now becomes,




Important Questions on Capacitance


A circuit is connected as shown in the figure with the switch open. When the switch is closed, the total amount of charge that flows from to is,

In the circuit shown in the figure, there are two parallel plate capacitors each of capacitance . The switch is pressed first to fully charge the capacitor and then released. The switch is then pressed to charge the capacitor . After some time, is released and then is pressed. After some time,

A parallel plate capacitor has a dielectric slab of dielectric constant between its plates that covers of the area of its plates as shown in the figure. The total capacitance of the capacitor is while that of the portion with dielectric in between is . When the capacitor is charged, the plate area covered by the dielectric gets charge and the rest of the area gets charge . Choose the correct option ignoring edge effects.

A parallel plate capacitor having plates of area and plate separation has capacitance in air. When two dielectrics of different relative permittivities and are introduced between the two plates as shown in the figure, the capacitance becomes The ratio is,
