Capacitance of a capacitor made by a thin metal foil is . If the foil is folded with paper of thickness , dielectric constant of paper is and width of paper is , then length of foil will be


An air capacitor of capacity is connected to a constant voltage battery of . Now the space between the plates is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant . The (additional) charge that flows now from battery to the capacitor is

A parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of . After disconnecting the battery, distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulating handle. As a result, the potential difference between the plates

A parallel plate air capacitor has capacity , distance of separation between plates is and potential difference $ V$ is applied between the plates. Force of attraction between the plates of the parallel plate air capacitor is:

The insulated plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor (with small separation between the plates) are approaching each other due to electrostatic attraction.
