Four identical plates each of area $a$ are separated by a distance $d$. The connection is shown below. What is the capacitance between $P$ and $Q$?

  • A
    $2 a \varepsilon_{0} / d$
  • B
    $a \varepsilon_{0} /(2 d)$
  • C
    $a \varepsilon_{0} / d$
  • D
    $4 a \varepsilon_{0} / d$

Two circular plates each of radius 'r' are kept parallel to each other distance 'd' apart. The capacitance of the capacitor formed is '$C_1$'. If the radius of each of the plates is increased to $\sqrt{3}$ times the earlier radius and their distance of separation decreased to half the initial value, the capacitance now becomes '$C_2$'. The ratio $C_1 : C_2$ is

Assertion : The total charge stored in a capacitor is zero.
Reason : The field just outside the capacitor is $\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$. ( $\sigma $ is the charge density).

The capacity of a parallel plate capacitor is $15\,\mu F$,when the distance between its plates is $6\,cm$. If the distance between the plates is reduced to $2\,cm$,then the capacity of this parallel plate capacitor will be......$\mu F$.
