उत्तर
For the given capacitor,
`C = 5 "uF"`
V = 6 V
`d = 2 "mm" = 2 xx 10^-3 "m"`
(a) The charge on the positive plate is calculated using q = CV.
Thus,
`q = 5 "uF" xx 6 V = 30 "uC"`
(b) The electric field between the plates of the capacitor is given by
`E = V/d = 3 xx 10^3 "V/m"`
(c) Separation between the plates of the capacitor, d = `2 xx 10^-3 "m"`
Dielectric constant of the dielectric inserted, k = 5
Thickness of the dielectric inserted, t = `1 xx 10^-3 "m"`
Now ,
Area of the plates of the capacitor `C = (∈_0A)/d`
⇒ `5 xx 10^-6 = (8.85 xx 10^-12 xx A)/(2 xx 10^-3)`
⇒ `10^4 = 8.85 xx A`
⇒ `A = 10^4 xx 1/8.85`
When the dielectric placed in it, the capacitance becomes
⇒ `C_1 = (∈_0A)/(d-t+t/k)`
⇒ `C_1 = (8.85 xx 10^-12 xx 10^4/8.85)/(2 xx 10^-3-10^-3+(10-3)/5)`
⇒ `C_1 = (8.85 xx 10^-12 xx 10^4/8.85)/(10^-3+(10-3)/5)`
⇒ `C_1 = (10^-12 xx 10^4 xx 5)/(6 xx 10^-3) = 8.33 "uF"`
(d)
The charge stored in the capacitor initially is given by
`C = 5 xx 10^-6 "F"`
Also ,
V = 6 V
Now ,
`Q = CV = 3 xx 10^-5 "F"`
⇒`Q = 30 "uC"`
The charge on the capacitor after inserting the dielectric slab is given by
`C_1 = 8.3 xx 10^-6 "F"`
`therefore Q^' = C_1V = 8.3 xx 6 xx 10^-6`
⇒ `Q^' = 50 "uC"`
Now ,
Charge flown , `Q^' - Q = 20 "uC"`
