Important Questions on Capacitance
A 10 volts battery is connected to three capacitors; as shown. The charges on the capacitors are respectively :

Two materials of dielectric constants are introduced to fill the space between the two parallel plates of a capacitor as shown in figure. The capacity of the capacitor is :

Two capacitors, and , are individually charged across a battery. After being disconnected from the battery, they are connected together with the negative plate of one connected to the positive plate of the other. What is the final total energy stored ?



In an isolated parallel plate capacitor of capacitance , the four surfaces have charges as shown. The potential difference between the plates is :

Assertion: Increasing the charge on the plates of a capacitor means increasing the capacitance.
Reason: Because

Assertion: The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the shape, size and geometrical placing of the conductors and its medium between them.
Reason: When a charge passes through a battery of emf from the negative terminal to an positive terminal, an amount of work is done by the battery.
