A 12 pF capacitor is connected to a 50 V battery. How much electrostatic energy is stored in the capacitor? If another capacitor of 6 pF is connected in series with it with the same battery connected across the combination, find the charge stored and potential difference across each capacitor. 

उत्तर

`E=1/2CV^2`

`E=1/2×12×10^-12×(50)^2`

`E=1.5×10^-8 J`

`C_(eqv)=(C_1C_2)/(C_1+C_2)`

`=(12×6)/(12+6)`

`=72/18`

`=4×10^-12 F`

`Q=C_(eqv)V`

`=4×10^-12×50`

`=200×10^-12 C`

Charge stored in both capacitor is `200×10^-12 C`.

Voltage across 12 pF capacitor is `=Q/C= (200×10^-12)/(12×10^-12)=200/12=16.67 V`

Voltage across 12 pF capacitor is`=Q/C= (200×10^-12)/(6×10^-12)=200/6=33.33 V`

A spherical conducting shell of inner radius r1 and outer radius r2 has a charge Q.

(a) A charge q is placed at the centre of the shell. What is the surface charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell?

(b) Is the electric field inside a cavity (with no charge) zero, even if the shell is not spherical, but has any irregular shape? Explain.


(a) Show that the normal component of electrostatic field has a discontinuity from one side of a charged surface to another given by

`(vec"E"_2 - vec"E"_1).hat"n" = sigma/in_0`

Where `hat"n"` is a unit vector normal to the surface at a point and σ is the surface charge density at that point. (The direction of `hat"n"` is from side 1 to side 2.) Hence show that just outside a conductor, the electric field is σ `hat"n"/in_0`

(b) Show that the tangential component of electrostatic field is continuous from one side of a charged surface to another.

[Hint: For (a), use Gauss’s law. For, (b) use the fact that work done by electrostatic field on a closed loop is zero.]
