DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 2

The two plates X and Y of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C are given a charge of amount Q each. X is now joined to the positive terminal and Y to the negative terminal of a cell of emf E = Q/C.

Detailed Solution for DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 2

As the emf of cell is ϵ=Q/C, charge of amount Q will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the cell through the capacitor.
As the Y is connected to the negative terminal of the cell so it is ground and the total charge on plate Y will be zero. 
Here cell charge the capacitor plate X and its total charge =(Q+Q)=2Q
The energy will supply by cell is U=​Cϵ2

DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 4

Each plate of a parallel plate capacitor has a charge q on it. The capacitor is now connected to a battery. Now,

Detailed Solution for DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 4

(a) The facing surfaces of the capacitor have equal and opposite charges

(b) The two plates of the capacitor have equal and opposite charges

(d) The outer surfaces of the plates have equal charges

Explanation:

q-Q=q+QàQ=0

  • Please note, option (c) is incorrect the reason being why is that the battery is a source of energy not charge.

  • If a capacitor plates have equal charge on outside and equal charge on inside, then one can think that the charge on the plates must be equal so option (b) cannot be incorrect.

 Two thin conducting shells of radii R and 3R are shown in the figure. The outer shell carries a charge +Q and the inner shell is neutral. The inner shell is earthed with the help of a switch S.

                   

Detailed Solution for DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 7

(A)  Potential of inner shell is due to potential developed by outer shell.
(B)   Since the inner shell is Earthed so its potential becomes zero.
(C)  Vinner=(KQ/3R)+(KQI/R)=0⇒rQ'=−Q/3

(D) It capacitance becomes =(4π∈0R1R2/R2−R1)+4π∈R2

DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 8

Two capacitors of 2mF and 3mF are charged to 150 volt and 120 volt respectively. The plates of capacitor are connected as shown in the figure. A discharged capacitor of capacity 1.5 mF falls to the free ends of the wire. Then

                

Detailed Solution for DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 8

Charge in 2μF Capacitor =300μC
Charge in 3μF Capacitor =360μC
when 1.5μF falls on the circuit ends, Redistribution of charge now will be:
Charge in 2μF Capacitor =300−xμC
Charge in 3μF Capacitor =360−xμC
Charge in 1.5μF Capacitor =xμC
By Kirchhoff Voltage Law:
x/1.5=[(300−x​)/2]+[(360−x)/3]​
which gives x=180μC
Therefore, Answers are A, B & C

*Multiple options can be correct
DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 9

 In the circuit shown initially C1, C2 are uncharged. After closing the switch

                    

Detailed Solution for DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 9

Here C1​ and C2​ are in series and the total potential between the capacitors is VT​=12+6=18V
Ceq​=4×8/4+8 ​=(8/3)​μF and
Qeq​=Ceq​VT​=(8/3)×18=48μC
As they are in series so the charge on each capacitor is equal to Qeq​=48μC.
∴Q1​=Q2​=48μC
Potential across C1​ is V1​= Q1/C1​ ​​=48/4​=12V
Potential across C2​ is V2​= Q2/C2​ ​​=48/8​=6V

DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 10

A circuit shown in the figure consists of a battery of emf 10V and two capacitance Cand C2 of capacitances 1.0mF and 2.0mF respectively. The potential difference VA – VB is 5V

                            

Detailed Solution for DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 10

VA−q1+10−(q/2)=VBVA-q1+10-q2=VB
VA−VB+10=(q/1)+q2VA-VB+10=q1+q2
5+10=3q/2⇒q=10μC

V1=10μC/1μF=10,& V2=10μC/2μF=5V
U1=q2/(2×C1),&U2=q2/2C2
Since C2=2C1 so U1=2U2

DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 14

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are given charges +4Q and _2Q. The capacitor is then connected across an uncharged capacitor of same capacitance as first one (= C). Find the final potential difference between the plates of the first capacitor.


Detailed Solution for DC Pandey Test: Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance - Question 14

Based on the symmetry of charges at equilibrium condition, +4Q will divide into −2Q each. Similarly−2Q will divide into −Q each.
Effectively capacitance=C+C=2C
So, the final potential difference = 2Q−(Q)​/ 2C =3Q​/2C
