COMEDK · Physics · 18. Capacitance
A parallel plate capacitor is filled by a dielectric whose relative permittivity varies with the applied voltage (U) as \(\epsilon=2 U\). A similar capacitor with no dielectric is charged to \(U_0=78 \mathrm{~V}\). It is then connected to the uncharged capacitor with the dielectric. Find the final voltage on the capacitors.
- A 4V
- B 8V
- C 2V
- D 6V
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 6V
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(C_0\) be the capacitance of the capacitor without the dielectric. The charge on this capacitor is \(Q_0 = C_0 U_0\), where \(U_0 = 78\) V. When the two capacitors are connected in parallel, the total charge \(Q_0\) is shared between them. Let \(U\) be the final common…
