Question-1:A Parallel Plate capacitor has following dimensions
Distance between the plates=10 cm
Area of Plate=2 m2
Charge on each plate=8.85*10-10 C
Calculate following
Electric Field outside the plates
Electric Field Between the plates
Capacitance of the capacitor
Energy stored in the capacitor
ε0=8.854*10-12 C2N-1m-2 Solution-1:
As we know that Electric field outside the plates are zero
Electric field Inside the plates is
E=Q/ε0A
=50NC-1
Capacitance=ε0A/d =8.854*10-12 *2/.1=17.6*10-11 F
Energy stored in
capacitor=(1/2)Q2/C=.5*8.85*10-10*8.85*10-10/17.6*10-11
=22.125*10-10 J
Question-2
Two equally charges ball are placed at a distance of 3 cm .They repel each other with a force of 4*10-5 N.
Calculate the charge on each ball
ε0=8.854*10-12 C2N-1m-2
Solution-2
Given r=3 cm=.03m
F=4*10-5 N
Let q be the charge
As per coulumb law
F=(1/4πε0)(q2/r2)
or q=2*10-9 C or -2*10-9 C
Question-3:
Two capacitor A and B are there with capacitance 6 F and 12 F respectively
Find out the capacitance of combination when A and B are connected in parallel
Find out the capacitance of combination when A and B are connected in series
Solution-3
Given
C1=6
C2=12
For parallel
C=C1+C2=6+12=18 F
For series
(1/C)=(1/C1)+(1/C2)
or C=4 F
Question:-4
A point charged q is placed at the origin of the coordinate system.Let i,j,k are the unit vector along the x,y,z direction.Find
the electric Field at the point(0,3,4)
Solution-4:
Distance (r) from origin=(x2+y2+z2)1/2
=5 m
Electric Field is given by E = (1/4πε0) (qr/r3)
or E=(q/4πε0)(3j+4k)/53
=(q/500πε0)(3j+4k)
