A capacitor is given a charge `q`. The distance between the plates of the capacitor is `d`. One of the plates is fixed and the other plate is moved away from the other till the distance between them becomes `2d`. Find the work done by the external force.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D
When one plate is fixed, the other is attracted towards the first with a force
`F=q^2/(2Aepsilon_0)=constant`
Hence, an external force of same magnitude will have to be applied in oppositve direction to increase the separation between the plates.
`:. W=F(2d-d)=(q^2d)/(2Aepsilon_0)`
Alternate solution: `W=/_U=U_f-U_i=q^2/(2C_f)-q^2/(2C_i)`..........i
Here, `C_f=(epsilon_A)/(2d)` and `C_i=(epsilonA)/d`
Substituting in eqn i we have
`W=q^2/(2((epsilonA)/(2d)))-q^2/(2((epsilon_0A)/d))=(q^2d)/(2epsilon_0A)`
60.

In the circuit shown in figure find a. the equivalent capacitance and b. the charge stored in each capacitor.

Answer» a. the capacitors are in parallel. Hence, the equivalent capacitance is
`C=C_1+C_2+C_3`
or `C=(1+2+3)=6muF`
b. total charge drawn from the battery `K`
`q=CV-6xx100muC=600muC`
This charge will be distributed in the ratio of their capacities. Hence,
`q_1:q_2:q_3=C_1:C_2:C_3=1:2:3`
`:. q_1=(1/(1+2+3))xx600=100muC`
`q_2=(2/(1+2+3))xx600=200muC`
and `q_3=(3/(1+2+3))xx600=300muC`
Alternate solution: Since the capacitors are in parallel the `PD` across each of them in `100V`.
Therefore from `q=CV`, the charge stored in `1muF` capacitor is `100muC`, in `2muF` capacitor is `200muC` and that in `3muF` capacitor is `300muC`
61.

An insulated conductor initiallly free from charge is charged by repeated contacts with a plate which after each contact is replenished to a charge `Q`. If `q` is the charge on the conductor after first operation prove that the maximum charge which can be given to the conductor in this way is `(Qq)/(Q-q)`

Answer» Let `C_1` be the capacity of plate and `C_2` that of the conductor. After first contact charge on conductor is `q`. Therefore, charge on plate will remain `Q-q`. As the charge redistributes in the ratio of capacities.
`(Q-q)/q=C_1/C_2`………i
Let `q_n` be the maximum charge which can be given to the conductor. The flow of charge from the plate to the conductor will stop when
`V_("conductor")=V_(plate)`
`q_m/C_2=Q/C_1implies q_m=(C_2/C_1)Q`
Substituting `C_2/C_1` from eqn i we get
`q_m=(Qq)/(Q-q)`
62.

Two parallel plate vacuum capacitors have areas `A_1` and `A_2` and equal plate spacing `d`. Show that when the capacitors are connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is the same as for a single capacitor with plate area `A_1+A_2` and spacing `d`.

Answer» `C=C_1+C_2`(in parallel)
`:.(epsilon_A)/d=(epsilonA_1)/d=(epsilon_0A_2)/d`
or `A=A_1+A_2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`q=CV=200muC`
In parallel the common potential is given by
`V=("Total charge")/("Total capacity")`
`=(200muC)/((2+2)muF)=50V`
Heat loss=`U_i-U_f`
`=1/2(2xx10^-6)(100)^2-1/2(4xx10^-6)(50)^2`
`=5xx10^-3J`
`=5mJ`

`P=i^2R=(i_0e^(-t//eta))^2R`
`=(i_0^2R)e^(-2t//eta)`
`=P_0e^(-t//(n//2))`

The capacitor `C_1` in the figure shown initially carries a charge `q_0`. When the switches `S_1` and `S_2` are closed,capacitor `C_1` is connected in series to a resistor `R` and a second capacitor `C_2` which is initially uncharged. The flown through wires as a function of time is where `C=(C_1C_2)/(C_1+C_2)`A. `q_0e^(-t/(RC))+C/C_2q_0`B. `(q_0C)/C_1x[1-e^(-t/(RC))]`C. `q_0C/C_1e^(-t/(CR))`D. `q_0e^(-t/(RC))`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Finally the capacitors are in parallel and total charge `(=q_0)` distributes between them in direct ratio of capacity.
`:. q_(C_2)=(C_2/(C_1+C_2))q_0rarr` in steady state .
but this chasrge increases exponentially.
Hence, charge on `C_2` at any time t is
`q_(C_2)=((C_2q_0)/(C_1+C_2))(1-e^(-t/tau_C))`
Initially `C_2` is uncharged so, what ever is the charge on `C_2` it is charge flown through switches.
74.

The capactor `C_1` in the figure initially carries a charge `q_0`. When the i switch `S_1` and `S_2` are closed, capacitor `C_1` is connected to a resistor `R` and a second capacitor `C_2`, which initially does not carry any charge. (a) Find the charges deposited on the capacitors in steady state and the current through R as a function of time. (b) What is heat lost in the resistor after a long time of closing the switch?

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
In steady state, capacitors will be in parallel. Charge will distribute in direct ratio of their capacity.
`:. q_1=(C_1/(C_1+C_2))q_0`
and `q_2=(C_2/(C_1+C_2))q_0`
Initial emf in the circuit is potential difference across capacitor `C_1` or `q_0/C_1`.
Therefore, initial current would be
`i_0=(q_0//C_1)/(R)=(q_0)/(C_1R)`
Current as function of time will be `i=i_0e^(-t//tau_C)`
Here, `tau_C=((C_1C_2)/(C_1+C_2))R`
b. `U_i=1/2q_0^2/C_1` and `U_f=1/2q_0^2/(C_1+C_2)`
Heat lost in the resistor
`=U_i-U_f=q_0^2/2[C_2/(C_1(C_1+C_3))]`
75.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
At `t=0`, equivalent resistance of an uncharged capacitor is zero and a charged capacitor is like a bttery of emf = potential difference across the capacitor.
a. `V_(C_1)=q_1/C_1=2V`
`:.` Net emf of the circuit `=9-2=7V`
or `92=11V`
Net resistance `=30+(30xx60)/(30+60)=50Omega`
`:.` Current at `t=0` would be `i_0=7/50A`
or `11/50A`
b. In steady state no current will flow through the circuit `C_2` will therefore be short circuited, while `PD` across `C_1` will be 9 V
`:. Q_2=0 and Q_1=9muC`
76.

In the circuit shown switch `S` is closed at `t=0`. Let `i_1` and `i_2` be the current at any finite time t then the ratio `i_1/i_2` A. is constantB. increases with lineC. decrease with timeD. first increases then decreases

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`i_1=(V/(2R))e^(-t/(6CR))`
`:. i_2=(V/R)e^(-t/(CR))`
`:. i_1/i_2=e^((5t)/(6CR))/2`
we can that this ratio is increasing with time.
77.

In the arrangement shown in figure dielectric constant `K_1=2` and `K_2=3`. If the capacitance across `P` and `Q` are `C_1` and `C_2` respectively, then `C_1//C_2` wil be (the gaps shown are negligible) `A. `1:1`B. `2:3`C. `9:5`D. `25:24`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`C_1=C_(RHS)+ C_(LHS)`
`=(K_2epsilon_0(A/2))/d=(K_1epsilon_0(A/2))/d`
`(epsilon_0A)/(2d)(K_1+K_2)=(5epsilon_0A)/(2d)`
`C_2=(epsilon_0A)/(d-d/2-d/2+(d/2)/K_1+(d/2)/K_2`
`=(2epsilon_0A)/d((K_1K_2)/(K_1+K_2))`
`=(12epsilon_0A)/(5d)`
`:. C_1/C_2=25/24`

The charging battery is then disconnected, and the plates are pulled apart until their separation is `2d`. Derive expression in terms of `A, d` and `V` for (a) the new potential difference (b) the initial and final stored energies, `U_i` and `U_f` and (c) the work required to increase the separation of plates from d to `2d`.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D
a. `q=C_iV=((epsilon_0A)/d)V`
`V_f=q/C_f=((epsilon_0AV//d))/((epsilon_0A//2d))=2V`
b. `U_i=1/2C_iV^2=1/2((epsilon_0A)/d)V^2`
`U_f=1/2C_fV_f^2=1/2((epsilon_0A)/(2d))(2V)^2`
`=((epsilon_0A)/d)V^2`
c. `W=U_f-U-i=1/2((epsilon_A)/d)V^2`
