A ray of light falls on a transparent sphere with centre C as shown in the figure. The ray emerges from the sphere parallel to the line AB. Find the angle of refraction at A if the refractive index of the material of the sphere is \[\sqrt{3}\].

उत्तर
From Snell's law, we have: \[\frac{\sin\left( i \right)}{\sin\left( r \right)} = \mu\] At A, i = 60° (given)
Now, μ = √3
\[\Rightarrow \sin\left( r \right) = \frac{\sin\left( i \right)}{\mu}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \sin\left( r \right) = \frac{\sin\left( 60° \right)}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow r = \sin^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\]
\[ \therefore r = 30°\]

Explain briefly the process of charging a parallel plate capacitor when it is connected across a d.c. battery
Show that the force on each plate of a parallel plate capacitor has a magnitude equal to `(1/2)` QE, where Q is the charge on the capacitor, and E is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates. Explain the origin of the factor `1/2`.
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 107 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?
Define the capacitance of a capacitor. Obtain the expression for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor in vacuum in terms of plate area A and separation d between the plates.
A slab of material of dielectric constant K has the same area as that of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor but has the thickness d/2, where d is the separation between the plates. Find out the expression for its capacitance when the slab is inserted between the plates of the capacitor.
A slab of material of dielectric constant K has the same area as that of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor but has the thickness d/3, where d is the separation between the plates. Find out the expression for its capacitance when the slab is inserted between the plates of the capacitor.
A parallel-plate capacitor has plate area 20 cm2, plate separation 1.0 mm and a dielectric slab of dielectric constant 5.0 filling up the space between the plates.

A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery as shown in figure. Consider two situations:

- Key K is kept closed and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle.
- Key K is opened and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle.
Choose the correct option(s).
- In A: Q remains same but C changes.
- In B: V remains same but C changes.
- In A: V remains same and hence Q changes.
