A parallel plate capacitor has square plates of side 5 cm and separated by a
distance of 1 mm. (a) Calculate the capacitance of this capacitor. (b) If a 10 V

battery is connected to the capacitor, what is the charge stored in any one of the
plates? (The value of eo = 8.85 × 10–12 N–1m–2 C2)

12TH PHYSICS IMPORTANT PROBLEMS ELECTROSTATICS

Exercises
1. When two objects are rubbed with each other, approximately a charge of 50 nC
can be produced in each object. Calculate the number of electrons that must be
transferred to produce this charge.

4.Suppose a charge +q on Earth’s surface and another +q charge is placed on the


surface of the Moon. (a) Calculate the value of q required to balance the
gravitational attraction between Earth and Moon (b) Suppose the distance between
the Moon and Earth is halved, would the charge q change?

et
13. During a thunder storm, the movement of water molecules within the clouds
creates friction, partially causing the bottom part of the clouds to become

i.N
negatively charged. This implies that the bottom of the cloud and the ground act as
a parallel plate capacitor. If the electric field between the cloud and ground exceeds
the dielectric breakdown of the air (3 × 106 Vm–1 ), lightning will occur.
