Assertion: The potential difference between the two conductors of a capacitor is small.
Reason : A capacitor is so configured that it confines the electric field lines within a small region of space.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion .

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Even though field may have considerable strenght , the potential differenc between the two conductors of a capacitor is small because the field lines are confined within a small region of space.

Assertion:A point charge q is placed near an arbitary shaped solid conductor as shown in figures.The potential difference between the points A and B within the conductor remain same irrespectively of the magnitude of charge q Reason: The electric field inside a solid conductor is zero under electrostatic conditions

The electric field (vec( E)) between two parallel plates of a capacitor will be uniform if.

A capacitor is filled with an insulator and a certain potential difference is applied to its pltaes. The energy stored in the capacitor is U . Now the capacitor is disconnected from the source and the insulator is pulled out of the capacitor. The work performed against the forces of electric field in pulling out the insulator is 4 U . Then dielectric constant of the insulator is.

Assertion : Displacement current goes through the gap between the plates of a capacitor when the charge of the capacitor does not charge Reason : The displacement current arises in the region in which the electric field is constant with time.

The space between the rectangular plates (with sides a and b ) of a parallel-plato capacitor (the distance between the plates is l) is filled with a solid dielectric whose dielectric constant is c. The capacitor is charged to a certain potential difference and disconnected from the voltage source. After that the dielectric is slowly moved out of the capacitor, which lTIOanS that the section x not filled with the dielectric gradually increases in size. How wi ll the potential difference between the plates and the surface charge densities on both parts of the capacitor (with and without the dielectric) change in the process?

Assertion : When a potential difference is applied across a conductor, free electrons stf travelling with a constant speed called drift speed. Reason : Due to potential difference an electric field is produced inside the conductor, which electrons experience a force.

Assertion: When an uncharged capacitor is connected across a battery, half the work done by the battery is stored as electric potential energy inside the capacitor and remaining half is dissipated in the form of heat. Reason: When an uncharged capacitor is connected across the battery then potential difference between the plates of capacitor increases from zero to the value of EMF of battery but battery supplies charge at the constant potential difference.

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor in vacuum are 5.00 mm apart and 2.00 m^2 in area. A potential difference of 10,000 V is applied across the capacitor. Compute (a) the capacitance (b) the charge on each plate, and (c) the magnitude of the electric field in the space between them.
