Important Questions on Capacitance

A parallel plate capacitor has rectangular plates of 400 cm2 area and are separated by a distance of 2 mm with air as the medium. What charge will appear on the plates if a 200 volt potential difference is applied across the capacitor ?

There are two metallic plates of a parallel plate capacitor. One plate is given a charge while the other is earthed as shown. Points and are taken as shown in the adjoining figure. Then the electric intensity is not zero at:

The distance between the plates of a circular parallel plate capacitor of diameter, , whose capacity is equal to that of a metallic sphere of radius, will be:

The energy density in a parallel plate capacitor is given as . The value of the electric field in the region between the plates is :

A charged parallel plate capacitor of distance has energy. A slab of dielectric constant and thickness is then introduced between the plates of the capacitor. The new energy of the system is given by :

The energy and capacity of a charged parallel plate capacitor are and respectively. Now a dielectric slab of is inserted in it then energy and capacity becomes : (Assuming charge on plates remains constant)
