Important Questions on Capacitor and Capacitance
and are large conducting plates kept parallel to each other. and are fixed. Plates and , connected to each other by a rigid conducting rod, can slide over frictionless rails as shown. Initially, the distance between plates and is the same as that between plates and . If now, the rod (along with plates and ) is slightly moved towards the right, the capacitance between the terminals and

Four plates of equal area are separated by equal distances and are arranged as shown in the figure. The equivalent capacity is




A parallel plate capacitor of area , plate separation and capacitance is filled with three different dielectric materials having dielectric constants and as shown. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant is given by,

In the figure, a capacitor is filled with dielectrics. The resultant capacitance is

Consider a parallel plate capacitor of with air filled in the gap between the plates. Now one-half of the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant as shown in the figure. The capacity of the capacitor changes to
