The plates $S$ and $T$ of an uncharged parallel plate capacitor are connected across a battery. The battery is then disconnected and the charged plates are now connected in a system as shown in the figure. The system shown is in equilibrium. All the strings are insulating and massless. The magnitude of charge on one of the capacitor plates is: [Area of plates = $A$]

  • A
    $\sqrt {2mgA{ \in _0}} $
  • B
    $\sqrt {\frac{{4mgA{ \in _0}}}{k}} $
  • C
    $\sqrt {mgA{ \in _0}} $
  • D
    $\sqrt {\frac{{2mgA{ \in _0}}}{k}} $

$A$ radioactive substance in the form of a metallic sphere of diameter $10^{-3} \ m$ emits particles at a constant rate of $6.25 \times 10^{10}$ particles per second. If the sphere is electrically isolated,how long will it take for its potential to increase by $1.0 \ V$? Assume that $80\%$ of the emitted particles escape from the surface. The time taken is $... \mu s$.

While working on a physics project at a school physics lab,you require a $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor in a circuit across a potential difference of $1 \,kV$. Unfortunately,$4 \,\mu F$ capacitors are out of stock in your lab,but $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors which can withstand a potential difference of $400 \,V$ are available in plenty. If you decide to use the $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors in place of the $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor,what is the minimum number of capacitors required?

In the circuit below,$C_1 = 20 \, \mu F$,$C_2 = 40 \, \mu F$,and $C_3 = 50 \, \mu F$. If no capacitor can sustain more than $50 \, V$,then the maximum potential difference between $X$ and $Y$ is .......... $V$.
