The given graph shows the variation of charge q versus potential difference V for two capacitors C1 and C2. The two capacitors have same plate separation but the plate area of C2 is double than that of C1. Which of the two graphs P and Q correspond to capacitors C1 and C2 and why? |
|
Answer» Q represents C2 and P represents C1 Reason: From the graph the slope q/v = Capacitance is greater for Q. Also according to given conditions the capacitance \(\cfrac{\varepsilon A}d\) is larger for the C2 because the area of its plates is large and d for the two capacitors is same. Hence, Q represents C2. |
|
| 30888. |
A point charge Q is placed at point O as shown in the figure. The potential difference VA – VB is positive. Is the charge Q negative or positive? |
|
Answer» We know that, V = \(\cfrac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\cfrac{Q}r\) ⇒ V \(\propto\cfrac1r\) The potential due to a point charge decreases with increase of distance. VA – VB > 0 ⇒ VA > VB Hence, the charge Q is positive. |
|
| 30889. |
The graph shows the variation of voltage ‘V’ across the plates of two capacitors A and B versus increase of charge ‘Q’ stored on them. Which of the two capacitors has higher capacitance? Give reason for your answer. |
|
Answer» C = \(\cfrac{Q}{V}=\cfrac{1}{Slope\,of\,line}\) As slope of A is smaller, capacitance of A is higher. C=Q/V=1/SLOPE OF LINE |
|

Answer» . Dielectric reduces the effective potential on plates and hence increases the capacitance. |
|
| 30891. |
The field lines of a negative point charge are as shown in the figure. Does the kinetic energy of a small negative charge increase or decrease in going from B to A? |
|
Answer» The kinetic energy of a negative charge decreases while going from point B to point A, against the movement of force of repulsion. |
|
| 30892. |
Name the dielectric whose molecules have(i) Non-zero and(ii) Zero dipole moment. |
|

Express dielectric constant of a medium in terms of capacitance. What is its SI unit? |
|
Answer» The dielectric constant of a medium is defined as the ratio of capacitance of capacitor when filled with a medium to capacitance of same capacitor when medium is removed. K = \(\cfrac{C_{medium}}{C_0}\) i.e., It has no unit. |
|
| 30894. |
Name the physical quantity whose SI unit is JC–1 . Is it a scalar or a vector quantity? |

Write the rules for determining significant figures. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» Rules for counting significant figures:
Note: 1 Multiplying or dividing factors, which are neither rounded numbers nor numbers representing measured values, are exact and they have infinite numbers of significant figures as per the situation. For example, circumference of circle S = 2πr, Here the factor 2 is exact number. It can be written as 2.0, 2.00 or 2.000 as required. Note: 2 The power of 10 is irrelevant to the determination of significant figures. For example x = 5.70 m = 5.70 × 102 cm = 5.70 × 103 mm = 5.70 × 10-3 km. In each case the number of significant figures is three. |
