उत्तर
Given :
Area of the plate , `A = 25 "cm"^2 = 25 xx 10^-4 "m"^2`
Separation between the plates, `d = 2 "mm" = 2 xx 10^-3 "m"`
Potential difference between the plates, V = 12 V
The capacitance of the given capacitor is given by
`C = (∈_0A)/d`
= `((8.85 xx 10^-12) xx (25 xx 10^-4))/((2 xx 10^-3))`
= `11.06 xx 10^-12 "F"`
(a) Charge on the capacitor is given by
Q = CV
= `11.06 xx 10^-12 xx 12`
= `1.33 xx 10^-10 "C"`
(b) When the separation between the plates is decreased to 1 mm , the capacitance `C^'` can be calculated as :
`C^' = (∈_0A)/d`
= `((8.85 xx 10^-12) xx (25 xx 10^-4))/(1 xx 10^-3)`
= `22.12 xx 10^-12 "F"`
Charge on the capacitor is given by
`Q^' = C^'V`
= `22.12 xx 10^-12 xx 12`
= `2.65 xx 10^-10 "C"`
Extra Charge
= `(2.65 xx 10^-10 - 1.32 xx 10^-10) C`
= `1.33 xx 10^-10 "C"`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
