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 $emf$ $E = Q/C$.

  • A
    Charge of amount $Q$ will flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the cell inside it.
  • B
    The total charge on the plate $X$ will be $2Q$.
  • C
    The total charge on the plate $Y$ will be zero.
  • D
    All of the above.

$A$ 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 circuit shown in the figure,$K$ is open. The charge on capacitor $C$ in the steady state is $q_1$. Now,the key $K$ is closed,and at the steady state,the charge on $C$ is $q_2$. The ratio of charges $\left( \frac{q_1}{q_2} \right)$ is:

In the given circuit,a charge of $+80 \ \mu C$ is given to the upper plate of the $4 \ \mu F$ capacitor. Find the charge on the upper plate of the $3 \ \mu F$ capacitor in the steady state in $\mu C$.
