Important Questions on Electrostatics

In the circuit given below, the capacitor is charged by closing the switch and opening the switch . After charging, the switch is opened and is closed, then the maximum current in the circuit

A capacitor of capacitance is connected in series with a resistance and source of emf through a key. The capacitor starts charging when the key is closed. By the time the capacitor has been fully charged, what amount of energy is dissipated in the resistance




The potential differences that must be applied across the parallel and series combination of identical capacitors is such that the energy stored in them becomes the same. The ratio of potential difference in parallel to series combination is




In figure, charge on the capacitor is plotted against potential difference across the capacitor. The capacitance and energy stored in the capacitor are respectively.





A capacitor of capacitance is charged fully by battery as shown in figure (a). Then it is disconnected from the battery and connected to another uncharged capacitor of capacitance as shown in figure (b). The electrostatic energy stored by the system (b) is
