The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are not exactly parallel. The surface charge density is, therefore,


Important Questions on Capacitor and Capacitance
Rows of capacitors containing capacitors, each capacitance , are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. The potential difference across is , then

The figure shows an arrangement of four identical rectangular plates , and each of area . Find the charges appearing on each face (from left to right) of the plates. Ignore the separation between the plates in comparison to the plate dimensions.

A parallel plate capacitor is charged as shown ( is given). A metal slab with the total charge is placed inside the capacitor as shown. The thickness of the slab is . The distance between the top plate and the top of the slab is , and the distance between the bottom plate and the bottom of the slab is . Each plate is grounded through a galvanometer as shown. Find the charge that passes through each galvanometer after both switches are closed simultaneously.

Five plates are arranged as shown in the figure and connected across a battery of emf . The separation between each plate is and the surface area of each plate is .

Each capacitance shown in figure is in . Find the charge on in .

In figure, a potential of is given to point and point is earthed. What is the potential at the point in ?
