JEE Advanced · Physics · 18. Capacitance

Four identical thin, square metal sheets, \(S_1, S_2, S_3\) and \(S_4\), each of side \(a\) are kept parallel to each other with equal distance \(d(\ll a)\) between them, as shown in the figure. Let \(C_0=\varepsilon_0 a^2 / d\), where \(\varepsilon_0\) is the permittivity of free space.

Match the quantities mentioned in List-I with their values in List-II and choose the correct option.

  1. A \(\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 4 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 5\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 1\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 4 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 1\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 3\); \(\mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 5\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 4 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For P

All are in series
\(\begin{gathered}
C_{e q}=\frac{C_0}{3} \\
P \rightarrow(3)
\end{gathered}\)
For Q

\(\begin{gathered}
C_{e q}=\frac{C_0}{2} \\
Q \rightarrow(2)
\end{gathered}\)
For R

\(\begin{gathered}
C_{e q}=\frac{2 C}{3} \\
R \rightarrow(4)
\end{gathered}\)
For S

\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow C_{e q}=3 C_0 \\
& S \rightarrow(1)
\end{aligned}\)
