$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged by a battery and then the battery is disconnected. If the distance between the plates is increased using an insulated handle,then:

  • A
    The charge on the capacitor increases and the capacitance decreases.
  • B
    The potential difference between the plates increases.
  • C
    The capacitance of the capacitor increases.
  • D
    The energy stored in the capacitor decreases.

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacity $50\,\mu F$ are charged to a potential of $100\;V$ and then disconnected from the battery. The distance between the plates is then doubled. How much work is done in doing so?

The lower plate of a parallel plate capacitor is supported on a rigid rod. The upper plate is suspended from one end of a balance. The two plates are joined together by a thin wire and subsequently disconnected. The balance is then counterpoised. Now a voltage $V = 5000 \, V$ is applied between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d = 5 \, mm$ and the area of each plate is $A = 100 \, cm^2$. Find the additional mass $m$ (in grams) placed to maintain balance. [All elements other than plates are massless and nonconducting. Take $\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, F/m$ and $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$].

As shown in the figure,two parallel plate capacitors having equal plate area of $200 \, cm^2$ are joined in such a way that $a \neq b$. The equivalent capacitance of the combination is $x \varepsilon_0 \, F$. The value of $x$ is $..........$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with area $200\,cm^2$ and separation between the plates $1.5\,cm$,is connected across a battery of $emf$ $V$. If the force of attraction between the plates is $25\times10^{-6}\,N$,the value of $V$ is approximately........$V$ $\left( {{\varepsilon _0} = 8.85 \times {{10}^{ - 12}}\,\frac{{{C^2}}}{{N{m^2}}}} \right)$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged. Then the battery is removed. Now,if the plates are pulled apart,
