A parallel plate capacitor is made of two circular plates separated by a distanc of 5mm and with a dielectric of dielectric constant 2.2 between them . When the electric field in the dielectric is 3xx10^(4) V/m the charge density of the positive plate will be close to :

(a) A closed loop is held stationary in the magnetic field between the north and south poles of two permanent magnets held fixed. Can we hope to generate current in the loop by using very strong magnets ? (b) A closed loop moves normal to the constant electric field between the plates of a large capacitor. Is a current induced in the loop (i) when it is wholly inside the region between the capacitor plates (ii) when it is partially outside the plates of the capacitor? The electric field is normal to the plane of the loop. (c) A rectangular loop and a circular loop are moving out of a uniform magnetic field region (Figure) to a field-free region with a constant velocity v. In which loop do you expect the induced emf to be constant during the passage out of the field region? The field is normal to the loops.

In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, each plate has an area of 6 xx 10^(-3)m^(2) and the distance between the plates is 3 mm. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor. If this capacitor is connected to a 100 V supply, what is the charge on each plate of the capacitor?

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed using a dielectric of dielectric constant 5, so as to have a dielectric strength of 10^(9) Vm^(-1) . If the voltage rating of the capacitor is 12 kV, the minimum area of each plate required to have a capacitance of 80 pF is .........

parallel plate capacitor having air as dielectric medium is charged by a potential difference of V volt. After disconnecting the battery , the distance between theplates of the capacitor is increased using an insulated handle. As a result, potential difference between the plates ...........

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 10^(7) Vm^(-1) . (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?

A parallel plate air capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a cell o f emf V and then disconnected from it. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant K, which can just fill the air gap of the capacitor, is now inserted in it. Which of the following is incorrect?

A parallel plate capacitor is filled by a dielectric whose relative permittivity varies with the applied voltage (U ) as epsilon = alpha U where alpha=2V^(-1) . A similar capacitor with no dielectric is charged to U_(0) = 78 V. lt is then connected to the uncharged capacitor with the dielectric. Find the final voltage on the capacitors.

In an oscillating L-C circuit the maximum charge on the capacitor is Q. What will be the charge on the plate of the capacitor, when energy stored in magnetic field and electric field are equal ?
