Q 1 :    

A capacitor of capacitance C and potential V has energy E. It is connected to another capacitor of capacitance 2 C and potential 2 V. Then the loss of energy is x3E, where x is ______ .               [2024]



(2)     Initial potential energy of system

          12CV2+12(2C)(2V)2

           Ui=E+8E=9E

           Common potential difference across capacitors, finally

           V0=5V/3

           Final potential energy of system

           Uf=12CV02+12(2C)V02

           Uf=3C2V02=3C2(5V3)2=12CV2(253)=253E

           Loss of energy

           Ui-Uf=9E-25E3=(27-25)E3=2E3

 



Q 2 :    

A parallel plate capacitor consisting of two circular plates of radius 10 cm is being charged by a constant current of 0.15 A. If the rate of change of potential difference between the plates is 7×108 V/s then the integer value of the distance between the parallel plates is (Take ε0=9×1012Fm, π=227)______ μm          [2025]



(1320)

V=QC=it(ε0Ad)=itdε0(πr2)

 d=ε0(πr2)i(Vt)

d=(9×1012)(227)(0.1)20.15(7×108) m=1320 μm
