Five capacitors together with their capacitances are shown in the adjoining figure. The potential difference between the points $A$ and $B$ is $60\, V$. The equivalent capacitance between the points $A$ and $B$ and the charge on the $5\, \mu F$ capacitor will be respectively:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacity $100 \mu F$ is charged by a battery of $50 \text{ V}$. The battery remains connected and if the plates of the capacitor are separated so that the distance between them becomes double the original distance,the additional energy given by the battery to the capacitor in joules is

In the figure, a potential of $+1200\, V$ is applied to point $A$ and point $B$ is earthed. What is the potential at point $P$ in volts?

The two plates $X$ and $Y$ of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ are given a charge of amount $Q$ each. $X$ is now joined to the positive terminal and $Y$ to the negative terminal of a cell of $emf$ $E = Q/C$.
