A test charge is moved without acceleration from to along the path from to and then from to in electric field as shown in the figure below. At which point (of the two) is the electric potential more and why?


Find the P.E. associated with a charge if it were present at the point with respect to the 'set-up' of two charged spheres, arranged as shown in figure below. Here is the mid-point of the line .

A sheet of aluminium foil of negligible thickness is placed between the plates of a capacitor, as shown in figure below. What effect has it on the capacitance if the foil is electrically insulated.

A sheet of aluminium foil of negligible thickness is placed between the plates of a capacitor, as shown in figure below. What effect has it on the capacitance if the foil is connected to the upper plate with a conducting wire?

The graph below shows the variation of voltage across the plates of two capacitors and versus increase of charge stored on them. Which of the capacitors has higher capacitance? Give reason for your answer.

The given graph shows the variation of charge versus potential difference for two capacitors and . The two capacitors have same plate separation but the plate area of is double than that of . Which of the lines in the graph correspond to and and why?

As shown in the figure below, a dielectric material of dielectric constant is instead in half proportion between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. If its initial capacitance is , what is the new capacitance?
