$A$ capacitor of unknown capacity is connected across a battery of $V$ volt. The charge stored in it is $Q$ coulomb. When the potential across the capacitor is reduced by $V_1$ volt,the charge stored in it becomes $Q_1$ coulomb. The potential $V$ is

  • A
    $\frac{Q V_1}{Q-Q_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{Q_1 V_1}{Q+Q_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q_1}{Q}$
  • D
    $\frac{Q}{Q_1}$

Assertion: Charges are given to plates of two plane parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ (such that $C_2 = 2C_1$) as shown in the figure. Then the key $K$ is pressed to complete the circuit. Finally,the net charge on the upper plate and the net charge on the lower plate of capacitor $C_1$ is positive.
Reason: In a parallel plate capacitor,both plates always carry equal and opposite charge.

Three identical capacitors $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu F$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $C_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0 = 8 \ V$. First,the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged,$S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium,the charge on $C_3$ is found to be $5 \mu C$. The value of $\varepsilon_r = . . . . $
