A parallel plate condenser is filled with two dielectrics as shown. Area of each plate is $$A$$ $${m^2}$$ and the separation is $$t$$ $$m.$$ The dielectric constants are $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ respectively. Its capacitance in farad will be
A
$$\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{t}\left( {{k_1} + {k_2}} \right)$$
B
$$\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{t}.\frac{{{k_1} + {k_2}}}{2}$$
C
$$\frac{{2{\varepsilon _0}A}}{t}\left( {{k_1} + {k_2}} \right)$$
D
$$\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{t}.\frac{{{k_1} - {k_2}}}{2}$$
The two capacitors are in parallel so
$$C = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{{t \times 2}}\left( {{k_1} + {k_2}} \right)$$
22.
Two capacitors of capacitances $${C_1}$$ and $${C_2}$$ are connected in series, assume that $${C_1} < {C_2}.$$ The equivalent capacitance of this arrangement is $$C,$$ where
A
$$C < \frac{{{C_1}}}{2}$$
B
$$\frac{{{C_1}}}{2} < C < \frac{{{C_2}}}{2}$$
C
$${C_1} < C < {C_2}$$
D
$${C_2} < C < 2{C_2}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{{C_1}}}{2} < C < \frac{{{C_2}}}{2}$$

A parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $$V$$ volts. After disconnecting the charging battery the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulating handle. As a result the potential difference between the plates
If the battery is removed after charging, then the charge stored in the capacitor remains constant.
$$q = {\text{constant}}$$
Change in capacitance,
$$C' = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{{d'}}$$
As, $$d' > d$$
Hence, $$C' < C$$
As, potential difference between the plates of capacitor is given by $$V = \frac{q}{C}$$
So, for the new capacitor formed
$$V' \propto \frac{1}{{C'}}\,\,\left[ {q = {\text{constant}}} \right]$$
As capacitance decreases, so potential difference increases. NOTE
If the battery remains connected, the charge stored increases. Also, the potential difference $$V$$ becomes constant.

Consider the situation shown in the figure. The capacitor $$A$$ has a charge $$q$$ on it whereas $$B$$ is uncharged. The charge appearing on the capacitor $$B$$ a long time after the switch is closed is
When $$S$$ is closed, there will be no shifting of negative charge from plate $$A$$ to $$B$$ as the charge $$- q$$ is held by the charge $$+ q.$$ Neither there will be any shifting of charge from $$B$$ to $$A.$$
25.
In the given circuit diagram when the current reaches steady state in the circuit, the charge on the capacitor of capacitance $$C$$ will be:
A
$$CE\frac{{{r_2}}}{{\left( {r + {r_2}} \right)}}$$
B
$$CE\frac{{{r_1}}}{{\left( {{r_1} + r} \right)}}$$
C
$$CE$$
D
$$CE\frac{{{r_1}}}{{\left( {{r_2} + r} \right)}}$$
In steady state, flow fo current through capacitor will
be zero.
Current through the circuit,
$$i = \frac{E}{{r + {r_2}}}$$
Potential difference through capacitor
$$\eqalign{
& {V_c} = \frac{Q}{C} = E - ir = E - \left( {\frac{E}{{r + {r_2}}}} \right)r \cr
& \therefore Q = CE\frac{{{r_2}}}{{r + {r_2}}} \cr} $$
26.
A combination of capacitors is set up as shown in the figure.
The magnitude of the electric field, due to a point charge $$Q$$ (having a charge equal to the sum of the charges on the 4 $$\mu F$$ and 9 $$\mu F$$ capacitors), at a point distance $$30m$$ from it, would equal :
Charge on $${C_1}$$ is $${q_1} = \left[ {\left( {\frac{{12}}{{4 + 12}}} \right) \times 8} \right] \times 4 = 24\mu c$$
The voltage across $${C_p}$$ is $${V_P} = \frac{4}{{4 + 12}} \times 8 = 2v$$
$$\therefore $$ Voltage across $$9\mu F$$ is also $$2V$$
$$\therefore $$ Charge on $$9\mu F$$ capacitor $$ = 9 \times 2 = 18\mu C$$
$$\therefore $$ Total charge on $$4\mu F$$ and $$9\mu F = 42\mu c$$
$$\therefore E = \frac{{KQ}}{{{r^2}}} = 9 \times {10^9} \times \frac{{42 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{30 \times 30}} = 420\,N{c^{ - 1}}$$

Two capacitors $${C_1}$$ and $${C_2}$$ are charged to $$120V$$ and $$200V$$ respectively. It is found that connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then
For potential to be made zero, after connection
$$\eqalign{
& 120\,{C_1} = 200{C_2}\,\,\,\left[ {\because C = \frac{q}{v}} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow 3{C_1} = 5{C_2} \cr} $$
28.
Two thin dielectric slabs of dielectric constants $${K_1}$$ and $${K_2}\left( {{K_1} < {K_2}} \right)$$ are inserted between plates of a parallel plate capacitor, as shown in the figure.
The variation of electric field $$E$$ between the plates with distance $$d$$ as measured from plate $$P$$ is correctly shown by
Graph (C) will be the right graph, the electric field inside the dielectrics will be less than the electric field outside the dielectrics. The electric field inside the dielectrics could not be zero.
As $${K_2} > {K_1},$$ the drop in electric field for $${K_2}$$ dielectric must be more than $${K_1}.$$
29.
On decreasing the distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, its capacitance
Since capacitance $$C = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}A}}{d},$$ as $$d$$ decreases capacitance increases.
