If the charge on the capacitor is increased by 3 coulombs, the energy stored in it increases by 44 % . The original charge on the capacitor is

A. 10 C

B. 15 C

C. 20 C

D. 25 C

Correct Option is (B)

Energy stored in a charged capacitor is

U = Q 2 2 C U Q 2

As per given condition, when, Q 2 = ( Q 1 + 3 ) ,

U 2 = 44 %  of  U 1 = 144 100 U 1 Q 2 2 2 C = 144 100 × Q 1 2 2 C Q 1 = 10 12 Q 2 Q 1 = 5 6 ( Q 1 + 3 ) 6 Q 1 = 5 Q 1 + 15 Q 1 = 15 C

MHT CET 2023 12th May Morning Shift Physics - Capacitor Question 4 English

A. 8 μ F

B. 4 μ F

C. 2 μ F

D. 16 μ F

Correct Option is (B)

In the given circuit, C 3 and C 4 are in series and C 3 = C 4 = 8 μ F

1 C S = 1 C 3 + 1 C 4

C S = C 3 2 2 C 3 C S = C 3 2 C S = 4 μ F .... (i)

C 5 and C 6 are in parallel and C 5 = C 6 = 4   μ F

C P = C 5 + C 6

C P = 8 μ F

Equivalent circuit is as shown in figure.

The potential on the plates of capacitor are + 20   V and 20   V . The charge on the plate is 40 C . The capacitance of the capacitor is

A. 2 F

B. 1 F

C. 4 F

D. 0.5 F

Two spherical conductors of capacities 3 μ F and 2 μ F are charged to same potential having radii 3   cm and 2   cm respectively. If ' σ 1 ' and ' σ 2 ' represent surface density of charge on respective conductors then σ 1 σ 2 is

A. 1 3

B. 1 2

C. 2 3

D. 3 4

Correct Option is (C)

We know, C = Q V

As both the charged spheres are at the same potential, the charge on both spheres is

Q 1 = C 1   V Q 2 = C 2   V

The charge densities of both spheres are

σ 1 = Q 1   A 1 = C 1   V 4 π r 1 2

Similiarly,

σ 2 = Q 2   A 2 = C 2   V 4 π r 2 2

Taking the ratios,

σ 2 σ 1 = C 2 r 1 2 C 1 r 2 2 σ 2 σ 1 = 2 × 10 6 × ( 0.03 ) 2 3 × 10 6 × ( 0.02 ) 2 = 3 2 σ 1 σ 2 = 2 3
