A parallel plate capacitor of area 60 cm^2 and separation 3 mm is charged initially, to 90 muC . If the medium between the plate gets slightly conducting and the plate loses the charge initially at the rate of 2.5 xx 10^-8 C//s , the magnetic field between the plates is

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor have an area of 90 cm^2 each and are separated by 2.5 mm. The capacitor is charged by connecting it to a 400 V supply. (a) How much electrostatic energy is stored by the capacitor? (b) View this energy as stored in the electrostatic field between the plates, and obtain the energy per unit volume u. Hence arrive at a relation between u and the magnitude of electric field E between the plates.

The resistance offered by a wire of unit length and unit cross-sectional area is called resistivity. For a material irrespective of length and area, the resistivity is constant. It is also called specific resistance of the material. Metals and alloys have low resistivity while insulators have high resistivity. Resistivity of two elements A and B are 1.62 xx 10^(-8) Omega m and 520 xx10^(-8) Omega m respectively. Out of these two, name the element that can be used to make : (i) filament of electric bulb. (ii) wires for electrical transmission lines.
