$A$ capacitor is made of two square plates each of side $a$ making a very small angle $\alpha$ between them,as shown in figure. The capacitance will be close to

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $4 \ mm$ and the potential difference is $60 \ V$. If the distance between the plates is increased to $12 \ mm$,then:

Two parallel plate capacitors have their plate areas $100 \,cm^2$ and $500 \,cm^2$ respectively. If they have the same charge and potential,and the distance between the plates of the first capacitor is $0.5 \,mm$,then the distance between the plates of the second capacitor is ........ $cm$.

Assertion : The total charge stored in a capacitor is zero.
Reason : The field just outside the capacitor is $\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$. ( $\sigma $ is the charge density).

When a test charge placed in the middle of a parallel plate capacitor experiences a force $F$,what will be the force experienced by the same test charge if one plate is removed?
