Important Questions on Electricity and Circuits



What is the value of current at


Two lamps, one rated at , and the other at , are connected in parallel to the electric mains supply. What current is drawn from the line if the supply voltage is ?





Calculate the effective resistance across AB.

The diagram above shows a circuit with the key k open. Calculate the resistance of the circuit when the key k is open and calculate the current drawn from the cell when the key k is open.




Two identical parallel plate capacitors of capacitance each are connected in series with a battery of emf, as shown. If one of the capacitors is now filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant , the amount of charge which will flow through the battery is (neglect internal resistance of the battery)

In the figure is shown a system of four capacitors connected across a battery. The charge that will flow from switch S when it is closed is:

An electron enters a parallel plate capacitor with horizontal speed and is found to deflect by angle on leaving the capacitor as shown. It is found that and gravity is negligible.
If the initial horizontal speed is doubled, then will be:

A parallel plate capacitor is made of two circular plates separated by a distance of 5 mm and with a dielectric of dielectric constant 2.2 between them. When the electric field in the dielectric is , the charge density of the positive plate will be close to :

What are the charges stored in the and capacitors in the circuit below, once the currents become steady?

A capacitor of is charged as shown in the diagram. When the switch is turned to position , the percentage of its stored energy dissipated is

What is a conductor of electricity? Give two examples.
