What is the value of current at






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

A parallel plate capacitor has uniform electric field in the space between the plates.If the distance between the plates is and area of each plate is , the energy stored in the capacitor is ;


A parallel plate capacitor of two plates, each with area , is separated by air-gap. The capacitor is initially connected to source. When an unknown liquid is filled between the plates so as to fill the air-gap, an additional charge of is found to be flowing onto the capacitor from the source. The dielectric constant of the liquid is
(Assume )





A parallel plate capacitor having cross-sectional area and separation has air in between the plates. Now an insulating slab of the same area but the thickness, , is inserted between the plates as shown in figure having dielectric constant The ratio of new capacitance to its original capacitance will be,


A parallel plate capacitor has plates of area A separated by distance between them. It is filled with a dielectric which has a dielectric constant that varies as where is the distance measured from one of the plates. If the total capacitance of the system is best given by the expression:




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 :
