FAQs on HC Verma Solutions: Chapter 31 - Capacitors - Physics Class 11 - NEET

1. What is a capacitor and how does it work?
Ans. A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the plates, positive and negative charges accumulate on each plate, creating an electric field between them. This electric field stores the electrical energy.
2. How is the capacitance of a capacitor determined?
Ans. The capacitance of a capacitor is determined by its physical characteristics, specifically the surface area of the plates, the distance between them, and the type of dielectric material used. The capacitance is directly proportional to the surface area of the plates and the permittivity of the dielectric material, and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. It is usually measured in farads (F).
3. What is the role of a dielectric material in a capacitor?
Ans. The dielectric material in a capacitor serves as an insulator between the two plates, preventing direct contact and the flow of current between them. It also increases the capacitance of the capacitor by reducing the electric field strength between the plates. Different dielectric materials have different permittivity values, which affect the capacitance and other properties of the capacitor.
4. Can a capacitor store an unlimited amount of charge?
Ans. No, a capacitor has a maximum charge that it can store, determined by its capacitance value. The maximum charge a capacitor can store is directly proportional to its capacitance. Once the capacitor is charged to its maximum capacity, it cannot store any more charge unless the existing charge is discharged or removed.
5. What are some common applications of capacitors?
Ans. Capacitors have various applications in electronic circuits. Some common applications include energy storage in power supplies, smoothing out voltage fluctuations, filtering out noise and interference, timing circuits, motor starting and running, tuning and filtering in radio frequency circuits, and energy storage in flash cameras. Capacitors also play a crucial role in various electronic devices, such as televisions, computers, and mobile phones.
