A charge of is deposited on the positive plate of an isolated parallel-plate capacitor having a capacitance of . Determine the potential difference developed between the plates.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let the charge given to the first plate be and the charge on the second plate be .
When charges and are given to the plates of an isolated capacitor, the charge appearing on the inner facing surfaces of the plates is .
Substituting the given values:
The potential difference developed between the plates depends only on the inner surface charges and is given by .
