$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $10 \mu F$ is charged by a $220 \text{ V}$ supply. The capacitor is then disconnected from the supply and is connected to another uncharged parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $12 \mu F$. The loss of electrostatic energy in this process is (in $\text{ mJ}$)

  • A

In the circuit shown,$C_1 = 6\,\mu F, C_2 = 3 \,\mu F$ and battery $B = 20\,V$. The switch $S_1$ is first closed. It is then opened and afterwards $S_2$ is closed. What is the charge (in $\mu C$) finally on $C_2$?

$A$ capacitor $P$ with capacitance $10 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F}$ is fully charged with a potential difference of $6.0 \text{ V}$ and disconnected from the battery. The charged capacitor $P$ is connected across another capacitor $Q$ with capacitance $20 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F}$. The charge on capacitor $Q$ when equilibrium is established will be $\alpha \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}$. (Assume capacitor $Q$ does not have any charge initially). The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .
