Question - 1

Three identical capacitors are connected together differently. For the same voltage to every combination, the one that stores maximum energy is

  • A the three in series
  • B the three in parallel
  • C two in series with the third in parallel with it
  • D two in parallel with the third in series with it

Question - 2

Two condensers of capacities 2C and C are joined in parallel and charged upto potential V. The battery is removed and the condenser of capacity C is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant K. The potential difference across the capacitors will now be

  • A \(\frac { 3V }{ K+2 } \)
  • B \(\frac { 3V }{ K}\)
  • C \(\frac { V }{ K+2 } \)
  • D \(\frac { V }{ K } \)

Question - 3

A capacitor with capacity 100 \(\mu F\) is charged with a battery of 24 V. It is then connected to a battery of 12 V with positive plate is joined to positive terminal of battery. Heat developed in the process of flow of charge after connection is

  • A greater than 7.2 mJ
  • B less than 7.2 mJ
  • C equal to 7.2 mJ
  • D No heat is produced

Question - 4

A capacitor is made of two circular plates of radius R each, separated by a distance d << R. The capacitors is connected to a constant voltage. A thin conducting disc of radius r << R and thickness t << r is placed at a centre of the bottom plate. Then, the minimum voltage required to lift the disc, if the mass of the disc is m, is

  • A \(\sqrt { \frac { mg{ d }^{ 2 } }{ \pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ r }^{ 2 } } } \)
