A parallel plate capacitor is made of two square parallel plates of area $A$ , and separated by a distance $d < < \sqrt A $ . The capacitor is connected to a battery with potential $V$ and allowed to fully charge. The battery is then disconnected. A square metal conducting slab also with area $A$ but thickness $\frac {d}{2}$ is then fully inserted between the plates, so that it is always parallel to the plates. How much work has been done on the metal slab by external agent while it is being inserted?

A fully charged capacitor has a capacitance $‘C’$. It is discharged through a small coil of resistance wire embedded in a thermally insulated block of specific heat capacity $‘s’$ and mass $‘m’$. If the temperature of the block is raised by ‘$\Delta T$’, the potential difference $‘V’$ across the capacitance is

The lower plate of a parallel plate capacitor is supported on a rigid rod. The upper plate is suspended from one end of a balance. The two plates are joined together by a thin wire and subsequently disconnected. The balance is then counterpoised. Now a voltage $V = 5000\, volt$ is applied between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d =5\, mm$ and the area of each plate is $A = 100 cm^2.$ Then find out the additional mass placed to maintain balance.......$g$ [All the elements other than plates are massless and nonconducting] :-
