A parallel plate capacitor with plates of area A, held a distance d apart, has a capacitance C. A thin silver foil of negligible thickness and the same area is inserted at mid-point between the plates. The capacitance becomes
- A C/4
- B 3C/4
- C C/2
- D C
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) C
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} \) \( C_1 = C_2 = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d/2} = \frac{2\epsilon_0 A}{d} = 2C \) \( C' = \frac{1}{1/C_1 + 1/C_2} = \frac{1}{1/(2C) + 1/(2C)} = \frac{1}{2/(2C)} = C \)

- Read the passage carefully and answer the questions:
The degeneracy of the \(d\) orbitals has been removed due to ligand electron-metal electron repulsions in the octahedral complez to yield three orbitals of lower energy, \(t_{2 g}\) set and two orbitals of higher energy, \(e_g\) set. This splitting of the degenerate levels due to the presence of ligands in a definite geometry is termed as crystal field splitting and the energy separation is denoted by \(\Delta_0\). Thus energy of the two \(e_g\) orbitals will increase by \((3 / 5) \Delta_0\) and that of three \(t_{2 g}\) will decrease by \((2 / 5) \Delta_0\). The crystal field splitting \(\Delta_{\circ}\) depends upon the field produced by the ligand and charge on the metal ion. Some ligands are able to produce strong fields, in which case the splitting will be large, whereas others produce weak fields and consequently result in small splitting of \(d\) orbitals. Relative magnitude of crystal field splitting energy \(\Delta_0\) and pairing energy, \(P\) (energy required for electron pairing in a single orbital) determine the formation of low spin ( \(\Delta_0>P\) ) or high spin ( \(\Delta_0<P\) ) complex. In tetrahedral coordination entity formation, the \(d\)-orbital splitting is inverted and is smaller as compared to the octabedral field splitting. The crystal field theory attributes the colour of the complex to \(d-d\) transition of the electron. The colour of the coordination compounds depends on the crystal field splitting. In the absence of ligand, crystal field splitting does not occur and hence the substance is colourless.
