Question 334: Electrostatics & Capacitance

Question

A parallel plate capacitor has 1μF capacitance.
One of its two plates is given +2μC charge and
the other plate, +4μC charge. The potential
difference developed across the capacitor is:-

Accepted Answer

Charges at inner plates are 1 $$\mu $$C and Ã¢ÂÂ1 $$\mu $$C.
$$ 	herefore $$ Potential difference across capacitor
= $${q \over c} = {{1\mu C} \over {1\mu F}} = {{1 	imes {{10}^{ - 6}}C} \over {1 	imes {{10}^{ - 6}}Farad}} = 1V$$

Answer

1V

Answer

5V

Answer

2V

Answer

3V
