(c) The work done is the same in Fig. (i), Fig. ii) and Fig. (iii). (d) The work done in Fig. (ii) is greater than Fig, (ii) but equal to that in Fig. (i). Ans: (c) The work done is the same in Fig. (i), Fig.(ii) and Fig. (iii). The work done by the electric field on the charge will be negative. Wareieal = ~AU = ~qAV = q(Viniat ~ Vinal) Here initial and final potentials are same in all three cases and the same charge is moved, so work done is same in all three cases. £3. 3 2, Find the equivalent capacitance of the system across the terminals A and B.

ABCDE is an equipotential surface and on equipotential surface no work is done in shifting a charge from one place to another. In the following questions 9 and 10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as: (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A). (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A). (©) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false. (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true. 9. Assertion (A) zero. Reason (R): Electrostatic force is a conservative force.

The two capacitors have same plate separation but the plate area of C2 is double than that of C1. Which of the lines in the graph correspond to C; and C2 and why? A 9 H B —V [Area] but C= 7 So, more slope represents more capacitance. Hence, A represents Cz and B represents C1.fae ign 13. There is a point charge Q at a distance “g from the centre of a circle of radius R. Another point charge q is to be moved from A to B, where A and B opposite to each other.
