The capacitor is charged by a battery of 25 V. Let themagnitude of surface charge density on each plate be

or E =0
=

= 5000 N/C
The capacitor is disconnected from the battery but
charge on it will not change so that has the same
value. When a dielectric slab of thickness 3mm is
placed between the plates, the thickness of air between
the plates will be 5 3 = 2 mm. Electric field strength
in air will have the same value (5000 N/C) but inside
the dielectric, it will beK
5000=

5000

so potential difference = Eairdair+ Emeddmed

5. [C]
Each capacitor is charged and then removed from the
battery. Changing the plate separation in a parallel
plate capacitor or the radius of any shell or cylinder in
the spherical or the cylindrical capacitors will not
change the charge on any capacitor. Each capacitor, in
the disconnected state, is an isolated system.
In situation (i), since C =d
A0 , capacity will increase
as d is reduced. Therefore, V =C
Qdecreases, Q being
the same.
In situation (ii), C = 40ab
ab

b/a1
a
a and b are the radii of the inner and the outer
spherical shells, respectively.
As b is increased, capacity will reduce and
V =C
Qincreases, Q being the same.
In situation (iii), C = 20)a/b(n
L

L is the length of cylinders; a and b are the radii of
inner and outer cylinders, respectively.As b is increased, capacity will decrease and
