Figure shows two conducting thin concentric shells of radii r and 3r. The outer shell carries charge q and the inner shell is neutral. The amount of charge that flows from the inner shell to the earth after the key K is closed is equal to 1nth of the charge on the outer shell. What is the value of n?

A frustum is cut from a right circular cone. The two circular faces have radii Rand 2R and their centers are at O1 and O2 respectively. Height of the frustum is h=3R. When a point charge Q is placed at O1, the flux of electric field through the circular face of radius 2R is ϕ1and when the charge Q is placed at O2 , the flux through the other circular face is ϕ2.The ratio of ϕ1ϕ2 is found to be 13-310-3ab.

A parallel plate capacitor is to be constructed which can store q=10 μC charge at V=1000 V . The minimum plate area of the capacitor is required to be A1 when space between the plates has air. If a dielectric of constant K=3 is used between the plates, the minimum plate area required to make such a capacitor is A2. The breakdown field for the dielectric is 8 times that of air. Find A1A2.
