    WORKSHEET 3 (ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL AND CAPACITANCE)
    1. If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential
    surface, then
    (a) work is done on the charge. (b) work is done by the charge.
    (c) work done is constant. (d) No work is done
    2. A capacitor is charged by a battery. The battery is removed and another identical
    uncharged capacitor is connected in parallel. The total electrostatic energy of
    resulting system
    (a) increases by a factor of 4. (b) Decreases by a factor of 2
    (c) Remains the same. (d) Increases by a factor of 2
    3. A metal plate is introduced between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor.
    What is its effect on the capacitance of the capacitor?
    4. What is the general relation between electric field and potential?
    5. A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V. It is then
    connected to another uncharged capacitor having the same capacitance. Find out the
    ratio of the energy stored in the combined system to that stored initially in the single
    capacitor.
    6. Two charges -q each are separated by a distance 2d. A third charge +q is kept at the
    midpoint O. Find the potential energy of +q as a function of the small distance x from
    O due to -q charges.
    7. What is the work done in rotating a dipole from its unstable equilibrium to stable
    equilibrium? Does the energy of the dipole increase or decrease?
    8. If a dielectric slab is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor after
    the battery is disconnected. How do the following quantities change?
    (i) Charge (ii) Potential difference (iii) Capacitance (iv) Energy.
    9. A capacitor of 200 pF is charged by a 300 V battery. The battery is then disconnected
    and the charged capacitor is connected to another uncharged capacitor of 100 pF.
    Calculate the difference between the final energy stored in the combined system and
    the initial energy stored in the single capacitor.
    10. In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, each plate has an area of 6 x
    10 -3 m2 and the separation between the plates is 3mm. Calculate the capacitance of the
    capacitor. If this capacitor is connected to 100V supply, what would be the charge on
    each plate? How would charge on the plates change if a dielectric of thickness 3mm of
    K=6 is inserted between the plates while the voltage supply remains connected?
    11. A parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference V by a d.c source . the
    capacitor is then disconnected from the source . if the distance between the plates is
    doubled, state with reason, how the following will change.
    i) electric field between the plates ii) capacitance iii) energy stored in the
    capacitor
    12. How much work must be done by a battery to charge a 12µF capacitor, when the
    potential difference between the plates is 500 V ? how much energy is stored in the
    capacitor?
    13. The plates of parallel plate capacitor are separated by a distance of 1m. what must be
    the plate area if the capacitance of capacitor is 1 F?
    14. In the given circuit, find the charge stored in 2µC capacitor

    15. The given graph shows the variation of charge q versus potential difference V for
    two capacitors Cl and C2. Both the capacitors” have same plate separation but plate area of C2
    is greater than that C1. Which line (A or B) corresponds to and why?
