NEET 2018 · PhysicsStored energyPrevious Year Question
The electrostatic force between the metal plates of an isolated parallel plate capacitor C having a charge Q and area A, is
Answer: (C) Independent of the distance between the plates. Answer: (c) Solution: Force on a plate F = Q²/(2ε₀A).
- A.Proportional to the square root of the distance between the plates
- B.Linearly proportional to the distance between the plates
- C.Independent of the distance between the plates✓
- D.Inversely proportional to the distance between the plates
Correct Answer
(C) Independent of the distance between the plates
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (c) Solution: Force on a plate F = Q²/(2ε₀A). For an isolated capacitor Q is fixed and A is fixed, so F contains no d term → independent of plate separation. → option (c).
