CONCEPT:
Capacitor:
- The capacitor is a device in which electrical energy can be stored.
- In a capacitor two conducting plates are connected parallel to each other and carrying charges of equal magnitudes and opposite sign and separated by an insulating medium.
- The space between the two plates can either be a vacuum or an electric insulator such as glass, paper, air, or semi-conductor called a dielectric.
Parallel plate capacitor:
- A parallel plate capacitor consists of two large plane parallel conducting plates separated by a small distance.
- The space between the two plates can either be a vacuum or an electric insulator such as glass, paper, air, or semi-conductor called a dielectric.
- The electric field intensity at the outer region of the parallel plate capacitor is always zero whatever be the charge on the plate.
- The electric field intensity in the inner region between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor remains the same at every point.
- The electric field intensity in the inner region between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is given as,
⇒E=ϵoσ=AϵoQ
- The potential difference between the plates is given as,
⇒V=AϵoQd
- The capacitance C of the parallel plate capacitor is given as,
⇒C=VQ=dAϵo
Where A = area of the plates, d = distance between the plates, Q = charge on the plates, and σ = surface charge density
Calculation:
Δq = (KC - C)V
= 40 × 10-6 × 100
= 4000 × 10-3 = 4mC
ΔU=21C′V2−21CV2=21( K−1)CV2
= 21CV2(2−1)
= 21CV2=21×40×10−6×10000
= 0.2 J
