Six metallic plates,each with a surface area $A$ on one side,are placed at a distance $d$ from each other. The alternate plates are connected to points $P$ and $Q$ as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the system is:

  • A
    $\varepsilon_0 A/d$
  • B
    $5\varepsilon_0 A/d$
  • C
    $6\varepsilon_0 A/d$
  • D
    $\varepsilon_0 A/5d$

Two identical thin metal plates have charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ respectively,such that $q_{1} > q_{2}$. The plates are brought close to each other to form a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$. The potential difference between them is:

In an insulated parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance $C$,the four surfaces have charges $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$ and $Q_4$ as shown. The potential difference between the plates is

Two parallel plate capacitors with different plate separations but the same capacitance are connected in series to a battery. Both capacitors are filled with air. The quantity that is $NOT$ the same for both the capacitors when they are fully charged 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 $V = 5000 \, V$ is applied between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d = 5 \, mm$ and the area of each plate is $A = 100 \, cm^2$. Find the additional mass $m$ (in grams) placed to maintain balance. [All elements other than plates are massless and nonconducting. Take $\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, F/m$ and $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$].

Five identical plates each of area $A$ are joined as shown in the figure. The distance between the plates is $d$. The plates are connected to a potential difference of $V \text{ volts}$. The charge on plates $1$ and $4$ will be
