Question

The equivalent capacitance of three capacitors, 8 mu F, and 24 mu F connected in series is 3.4 mu F 4.4 mu F 2.4 mu F 40 mu F An air-filled parallel-plate has a capacitance of 4 pF. The plate separation is then double and a wax dielectric is inserted, completely filling the space between the plates. As a result, the capacitance becomes 12 pF. The dielectric constant of the wax is: 3.0 6.0 4.0 5.0 A 80 pF capacitor is charged to a potential of 2000 V. How much charge is accumulated on each plate of the capacitor? 1600 C 1250 C 1.6 times 10^-7 C 8.0 times 10^-6 C If the charge on a capacitor is doubled, its stored energy is halved is quartered is doubled is quadrupoled

Explanation / Answer

22. B
   given capacitors C1= 8*10^-6 F, C2= 16*10^-6 F, C3= 24*10^-6 F Connected in series

   Equivalent capacitance C is given as 1/C= 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3

   SUBSTITUTING THE DATA

       1/C = 1/ 8*10^-6 + 1/16*10^-6 + 1/24*10^-6
       C = 4.364 = 4.4 micro farad -------------> Ans option (b)

23. B

   capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is C = epsilon not*A/d


   given C air filled capacitor capacitance C = 4*10^-12 F
if the capacitor is filled with dielectric material of k its constant ,its capacitance increases by k times

   here d is increased by 2 times so C' = k (epsilon not A/2d)
                   C' = (k/2)(C)
                   k = C'/2C = 12*10^-12*2/4*10^-12
                   k = 6

dielectric constant of the wax is k = 6


24.C

From the relation between charge , capacitance, and potential is


       Q = cV

       Q = 80*10^-12*2000
       Q = 1.6*10^-7 C ------------>Ans option C


25. D

   energy stored in a capacitor is U = 1/2 cv^2 = Q^2/2C

            U proportional to square of the charge

   if charge is doubled then ,the stored energy becomes 4 times, quadrupoled --------->Ans
