$A$ source of potential difference $V$ is connected to the combination of two identical capacitors as shown in the figure. When key $K$ is closed,the total energy stored across the combination is $E_{1}$. Now key $K$ is opened and a dielectric of dielectric constant $K_{d} = 5$ is introduced between the plates of both capacitors. The total energy stored across the combination is now $E_{2}$. The ratio $E_{1} / E_{2}$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{10}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{13}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{26}$

$n$ identical capacitors are connected in parallel and charged to a potential $V$. Now,they are disconnected and reconnected in series. What will be the total energy and potential difference of the combination?

When we touch the terminals of a high voltage capacitor,even after the power supply has been disconnected,the capacitor has a tendency to:

$A$ positive point charge of $10^{-8} \ C$ is kept at a distance of $20 \ cm$ from the center of a neutral conducting sphere of radius $10 \ cm$. The sphere is then grounded and the charge on the sphere is measured. The grounding is then removed and subsequently the point charge is moved by a distance of $10 \ cm$ further away from the center of the sphere along the radial direction. Taking $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2 / C^2$ (where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space),which of the following statements is/are correct:
$(A)$ Before the grounding,the electrostatic potential of the sphere is $450 \ V$.
$(B)$ Charge flowing from the sphere to the ground because of grounding is $5 \times 10^{-9} \ C$.
$(C)$ After the grounding is removed,the charge on the sphere is $-5 \times 10^{-9} \ C$.
$(D)$ The final electrostatic potential of the sphere is $300 \ V$.

In the circuit shown,the charge on the $5\, \mu F$ capacitor is $........\mu C$.
