प्रश्न
A parallel plate capacitor is filled by a dielectric whose relative permittivity varies with the applied voltage (U) as ε = αU where α = 2V–1. A similar capacitor with no dielectric is charged to U0 = 78V. It is then connected to the uncharged capacitor with the dielectric. Find the final voltage on the capacitors.

उत्तर
Let the final voltage be U: If C is the capacitance of the capacitor without the dielectric, then the charge on the capacitor is
Q1 = CU
The capacitor with the dielectric has a capacitance εC. Hence the charge on the capacitor is
Q2 = εU = α CU2
The initial charge on the capacitor that was charged is
Q0 = CU0
From the conservation of charges,
Q0 = Q1 + Q2
Or, CU0 = CU + α CU2
⇒ αU2 + U – u0 = 0
∴ U = `(-1 +- sqrt(1 + 4αU_0))/(2α)`
= `(-1 +- sqrt(1 + 624))/4`
= `(-1 +- sqrt(625))/4` volts
As U is positive
U = `(sqrt(625) - 1)/4 = 24/4` = 6V

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. |
