Important Questions on Capacitance
A parallel plate capacitor has a dielectric slab of dielectric constant K between its plates that covers 1/3 of the area of its plates, as shown in the figure. The total capacitance of the capacitor is C 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 . The electric field in the dielectric is and that in the other portion is . Choose the correct option/options, ignoring edge effects.
A parallel plate capacitor is made of two circular plates separated by a distance of 5 mm and with a dielectric of dielectric constant 2.2 between them. When the electric field in the dielectric is , the charge density of the positive plate will be close to :
A parallel plate capacitor having cross-sectional area and separation has air in between the plates. Now an insulating slab of the same area but the thickness, , is inserted between the plates as shown in figure having dielectric constant The ratio of new capacitance to its original capacitance will be,
A parallel plate capacitor has plates of area A separated by distance between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as where is the distance measured from one of the plates. If the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression:
Two identical parallel plate capacitors of capacitance each are connected in series with a battery of emf, as shown. If one of the capacitors is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant , the amount of charge which will flow through the battery is (neglect internal resistance of the battery)
In the figure is shown a system of four capacitors connected across a battery. The charge that will flow from switch S when it is closed is:
A medium having dielectric constant fills the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The plates have large area, and the distance between them is . The capacitor is connected to a battery of voltage . as shown in Figure (a). Now, both the plates are moved by a distance of from their original positions, as shown in Figure (b).
In the process of going from the configuration depicted in Figure (a) to that in Figure (b), which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
A parallel plate capacitor of two plates, each with area , is separated by air-gap. The capacitor is initially connected to source. When an unknown liquid is filled between the plates so as to fill the air-gap, an additional charge of is found to be flowing onto the capacitor from the source. The dielectric constant of the liquid is
