SESSION – 2024-25
CLASS 12 A and 12 B
SUBJECT – PHYSICS
1. Complete the theory notebook.
2. Write three experiments in your practical notebook.
3. Solve the NCERT Exercise questions of Electrostatics and Current Electricity.
4. Prepare a working model and its write-up as the project file for Board Practical Examination.
5. A point charge Q is placed at point O as shown in the figure. Is the potential difference V A – VB positive,
negative or zero, if Q is (i) positive (ii) negative?

Answer:
Clearly,

As OA < OB, so the quantity within bracket is negative.

(i) If q is positive charge, VA – VB = negative
(ii) If q is negative charge, VA – VB = positive
6. Why is electrostatic potential constant throughout the volume of the conductor and has the same value (as
inside) on its surface? (Delhi 2012)
Answer:
Electric field inside the conductor = 0

7. Distinguish between tor. dielectric and a conductor Why must the electrostatic potential inside a hollow
charged conductor be the same at every point?
Answer:
Inside the hollow charged conductor, electric field is zero therefore no work is done in moving a small test
charge within the conductor. Hence electrostatic potential inside a hollow charged conductor is same at
every point.
8. What is the geometrical shape of equipotential surfaces due to a single isolated charge? (Delhi 2013)
Answer:
Concentric spheres with a gap between them not being uniform as V ∝1r
9. “For any charge configuration, equipotential surface through a point is normal to the electric field.” Justify.
Answer:
Work done in moving a charge over an equipotential surface is zero, hence a point on it will be normal to
the electric field.
W = FS cos θ ∴ cos θ = 0 or θ = 90o
10. Two equal balls having equal positive charge ‘q’ coulumbs are suspended by two insulating strings of
equal length. What would be the effect on the force when a plastic sheet is inserted between the two ? (All
India 2014)
Answer:
 The force would be reduced by a factor ‘K’ (equal to the value of dielectric constant of plastic sheet)

11. The given graph shows variation of charge ‘q’ versus potential difference ‘V’ for two capacitors C 1 and C2.
Both the capacitors have same plate seperation but plate area of C 2 is greater than that of C1. Which line
(A or B) corresponds to C1 and why? (Comptt. All India 2014)

Answer:
Line B corresponds to C1
Reason: Since slope (qv) of ‘B’ is less than that of ‘A’
12. A charge ‘q’ is moved from a point A above a dipole of dipole movement ‘p’ to a point B below the
dipole in equatorial plane without acceleration. Find the work done in the process. (All India 2016)

Answer:
No work is done
[W = q VAB = q × 0 = 0, since potential remains constant]
13. Two point charges, q1 = 10 × 10-8C, q2 = -2 × 10-8C are seperated by a distance of 60 cm in air.
(i) Find at what distance from the 1st charge, q1 would the electric potential be zero.
(ii) Also calculate the electrostatic potential energy of the system.
14. Two point charges 4Q, Q are separated by lm in air. At what point on the line joining the charges is the
electric field intensity zero? Also calculate the electrostatic potential energy of the system of charges,
taking the value of charge, Q = 2 × 10-7C
15. Calculate the work done to dissociate the system of three charges placed on the vertices of a triangle as

16. (i) Can two equipotential surfaces intersect each other? Give reasons.
(ii) Two charges -q and + q are located at points A (0, 0, – a) and B (0, 0, +a) respectively. How much
work is done in moving a test charge from point P (7, 0, 0) to Q (-3,0,0)? (Delhi 2009)
17. Draw 3 equipotential surfaces corresponding to a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains
constant along Z-direction. How are these surfaces different from that of a constant electric field along Z-
direction? (All India 2009)
Answer:
d2 < d1 for increasing field and d2 = d1 for uniform field.

18. Two uniformly large parallel thin plates having charge densities + σ and – σ are kept in the X-Z plane at a
distance ‘d’ apart. Sketch an equipotential surface due to electric field between the plates. If a particle
of mass m and charge q’ remains stationary between the plates, what is the magnitude and direction of
this field? (Delhi 2011)
Answer:
The equipotential surface is at a distance d/2 from either plate in X-Z plane. For a particle of charge (- q)
at rest between the plates, then

(i) weight mg acts, vertically downward (ii) electric force qE acts vertically upward
so mg = qE
E = mg/q vertically downward, i.e., along (-) Y-axis.
19. Two small identical electrical dipoles AB and CD, each of dipole moment ‘p’ are kept at an angle of 120°
as shown in the figure. What X’ is the resultant dipole moment of this combination? If this system is
subjected to electric field (E→) directed along + X direction, what will be the magnitude and direction of
the torque acting on this? (Delhi 2011)
Answer:
Resultant dipole moment of both dipoles is

Resultant dipole moment (p) makes an angle of 60° with each dipole and 30° with x-axis as shown in the
 figure.

20. Figure shows two identical capacitors C1 and C2, each of 2 µF capacitance, connected to a battery of 5 V.
Initially switch ‘S’ is left open and dielectric slabs of dielectric constant K = 5 are inserted to fill completely
the space between the plates of the two capacitors. How will the charge and

(ii) potential difference between the plates of the capacitors be affected after the slabs are inserted?
(Delhi 2011)
Answer:
(i) When switch S is open and dielectric is introduced, charge on each capacitor will be q 1 = C1 V, q2 = C2V
q1 = 5CV
= 5 × 2 × 5 = 50 µC, q2 = 50 µC
Charge on each capacitor will become 5 times (ii) P.d. across C1 is still 5V and across C2,
q = (5C) V

21. Figure shows two identical capacitors C1 and C2 each of 1.5 µF capacitance, connected to a battery of 2 V.
Initially switch ‘S’ is closed. After sometime ‘S’ is left open and dielectric slabs of dielectric constant K = 2
are inserted to fill completely the space between the plates of the two capacitors. How will the
(i) charge and
(ii) potential difference between the plates of the capacitors be affected after the slabs are inserted?
(Delhi)

Answer:
(i) When switch S is open and dielectric is introduced, charge on each capacitor, will be
q1 = C1V,
q2 = C2V,
q1 = 2CV = 2 × 1.5 × 2 = 6 µC, q2 = 6 µC
Charge on each capacitor will become twice.
(ii) P.d. across C1 is still 2V and across C2,
q = (2C) V’

22. Net capacitance of three identical capacitors in series is 1 pF. What will be their net capacitance if
connected in parallel?
Find the ratio of energy stored in the two configurations if they are both connected to the same source.
(All India 2011)
 Answer:

Given : C1 = C2 = C3 = C When connected in series:

23. Net capacitance of three identical capacitors in series is 3 pF. What will be their net capacitance if
connected in parallel?
Find the ratio of energy stored in the two configurations if they are both connected to the same source.
(All India 2011)
Answer:
Let C1, C2 and C3 be the capacitances of three capacitors. But these three capacitors are of same
capacitance, so C is the capacitance of each capacitor.

24. Draw a plot showing the variation of

(i) electric field (E) and
(ii) electric potential
(iii) with distance r due to a point charge Q. (Delhi 2012)
Answer:

25. A test charge ‘q’ is moved without acceleration from A to C along the path from A to B and then from B to
C in electric field E as shown in the figure.
 (i) Calculate the potential difference between A and C.
(ii) At which point (of the two) is the electric potential more and why? (All India)
Answer:
(i) P.D does not depend upon the path along which the test charge q moves

(ii) At point C, electric potential will be more as potential decreases in the direction of electric field.
26. An electric dipole is held in a uniform electric field.
(i) Show that the net force acting on it is zero.
(ii) The dipole is alligned parallel to the field.
Find the work done in rotating it through the angle of 180°. (All India 2012)
Answer:
(i) Force acting on point A due to charge -q is -qE
Force acting on point B due to charge +q. is + qE
Net force acting on
= -qE + qE = 0 (zero)

Hence, the net force acting on electric dipole held in a uniform electric field is zero.
(ii) W = -pE(cos 02 — cos θ2)
W = -pE(cos 180° – cos 0°)
=> W = -pE(-1 – (1)) = +2pE

27. A network of four capacitors, each of capacitance 15 µF, is connected across a battery of 100 V, as shown
in the figure. Find the net capacitance and the charge on the capacitor C 4. (Comptt. Delhi & All India 2012)
Answer:
C1, C2 and C3 are in series as shown in the figure, we have
28. A network of four capacitors, each of capacitance 30 pF, is connected across a battery of 60 V as shown in
the figure.
Find the net capacitance and the energy stored in each capacitor

29. A capacitor is connected to a battery. If we move its plates further apart, work will be done against the
electrostatic attraction between the plates. What will be the effect on the energy of the capacitor?
Answer:
Since the battery remains connected, the potential difference V between the plates of the capacitor will
remain constant.
Now Since Capacitance depends on the distance between the plates, it will decrease with the movement.
Now we know that
Q=CV
Now C is decreasing and V remains constant, the charge will decrease on the capacitor.
Some charges from plates passing through the connecting wire will charge the battery.
Thus some energy of the capacitor will be transferred to the battery. So energy of the capacitor will
decrease.
The work done done in moving apart the plates will be used up in this transference and dissipated in the
form of heat in the connecting wires
30. Two statements
Statement I: A small metallic sphere is placed at the center of a large charged spherical shell and two are
the connected by a wire. The charge will not flow from outer sphere to inner sphere
Statement II: A charged conductor is placed inside the hollow conductor and two are connected by the
wire. The whole charge will flow on the outer surface of the outer conductor
(a) Both the statement I and II are correct
(b) Statement I is correct only
(c) Statement II is correct only
(d) Both the statement is true
31. A test charge ‘q’ is moved without acceleration from A to C along the path from A to B and then from B to
C in electric field E as shown in the figure.

(i) Calculate the potential difference between A and C.

(ii) At which point (of the two) is the electric potential more and why? (All India)
Answer:
(i) P.D does not depend upon the path along which the test charge q moves
 (ii) At point C, electric potential will be more as potential decreases in the direction of electric field.
32. An electric dipole of length 4 cm, when placed with its axis making an angle of 60° with a uniform electric
field, experiences a torque of 4√3 Nm. Calculate the potential energy of the dipole, if it has charge ± 8 nC.
(Delhi 2014)
Answer:
1st method Given : 2a = 4 cm = 4 × 10-2 m, θ = 60°
τ = 4 × √3 Nm, q = ±8 nC = ±8 x 10-9 C
P.E. = |p| |E| cos θ, τ = |p| |E| sin θ

33. A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V. It is then connected to another
uncharged capacitor having the same capacitance. Find out the ratio of the energy stored in the
combined system to that stored initially in the single capacitor. (All India 2014)
Answer:
Let us say that capacitor has an initial energy

When the first capacitor is connected across the second capacitor, let the common potential be V’
 Then charge on each capacitor q’ = CV’
By charge conservation
q’ = q/2
Hence total energy stored in the capacitors,

34. Two point charges q1 and q2 are located at r1→ and r2→ respectively in an external electric field E→ .
Obtain the expression for the total work done in assembling this configuration. (Comptt. Delhi 2014)
Answer:
Work done in bringing the charge q1 from infinity to position r1
W1 = q1V(r1)
Work done in bringing charge q2 to the position r2

Hence, total work done in assembling the two charges

w = W1 + W2

35. Three identical capacitors C1 C2 and C3 of capacitance 6 µF each are connected to a 12 V battery as shown.
Find:
(i) charge on each capacitor
(ii) equivalent capacitance of the network
(iii) energy stored in the network of capacitors. (Delhi 2009)

Answer:
C1 and C2 in series, make C4 = 3µF
using 1/C4=1/C1+1/C2
(i) 12V of potential is available in C4 and C3.
Charge in C3 = Q3 = C3V
= 6 × 10-6 × 12 = 72 µC
Charge in C4 = Q4 = C4V
= 3 × 10-6 × 12 = 36 µC
∴ Charge on C1 and C2 will also be 36 μC
(ii) C4 and C3 are in parallel to the source
∴ Ceq = 3 + 6 = 9 μF
(iii) Energy stored = 1/2CeqV2

= 648 × 10-6 = 6.48 × 10-4 joule
