प्रश्न
A capacitor of unknown capacitance is connected across a battery of V volts. The charge stored in it is 300 μC. When potential across the capacitor is reduced by 100 V, the charge stored in it becomes 100 μC. Calculate The potential V and the unknown capacitance. What will be the charge stored in the capacitor if the voltage applied had increased by 100 V?
उत्तर
(i) Initial voltage, V1 = V volts, Charge stored,Q1 = 300 µC
Q1 = CV1 ..(1)
Changed potential, V2 = V-100 V
Q2 = 100 µC
Q2 = CV2 ..(2)
By dividing (2) from (1), we get `(Q_1)/(Q_2) = (CV_1)/(CV_2) => Q_1/Q_2 = V_1 /V_2`
`=> 300/100 = V/(V- 100) => V = 150 \text { volts }`
`∴ C = Q_1/V_1 = (300 xx 10^-6)/150 = 2 xx 10^-6 F = 2 μ F`
(ii) If the voltage applied had increased by 120 V, then V3 = 150+100 = 250 V
Hence, charge stored in the capacitor, Q3 = CV3 = 2×10-6×250 = 500 µC
(ii) If the voltage applied had increased by 120 V, then V3 = 150+100 = 250 V
Hence, charge stored in the capacitor, Q3 = CV3 = 2×10-6×250 = 500 µC

During a thunder storm, the movement of water molecules within the clouds creates friction, partially causing the bottom part of the clouds to become negatively charged. This implies that the bottom of the cloud and the ground act as a parallel plate capacitor. If the electric field between the cloud and ground exceeds the dielectric breakdown of the air (3 × 106 Vm–1), lightning will occur.
- If the bottom part of the cloud is 1000 m above the ground, determine the electric potential difference that exists between the cloud and ground.
- In a typical lightning phenomenon, around 25 C of electrons are transferred from cloud to ground. How much electrostatic potential energy is transferred to the ground?
