SECTION - C

(a) Two charged conducting spheres of radii a and b are connected to each other by a wire. Find the ratio of the electric fields at their surfaces.
OR
(b) A parallel plate capacitor (A) of capacitance C is charged by a battery to voltage V. The battery is disconnected and an uncharged capacitor (B) of capacitance 2C is connected across A. Find the ratio of
(i) final charges on A and B.
(ii) total electrostatic energy stored in A and B finally and that stored in A initially.
Solution:
(a) For sphere with radius a, Potential =V
(since, both the charged spheres are connected by a wire)
Charge =Qa
Capacitance =Ca
Electric field, =Ea=Qa4πε0a2
For sphere with radius b,
Potential =V
(since both the charged spheres are connected by a wire)
Charge =Qb
Capacitance =Cb
Electric field =Eb
=Qb4πε0b2
Now, EaEb=QaQb×b2a2 ......(1)
QaQb=CaVCbV
Or, QaQb=CaCb
Or, QaQb=ab .......(2)
(since, Cd∕Cb=a∕b )
Putting in equation (1)
EaEb=(ab)×(b2a2)
∴EaEb=ba
OR
(b) (i) Initially,
Charge on A capacitor =CV
Charge on B capacitor =0
After connecting A with B,
Final potential =V′= Total Charge total capacitance
=Q+0C+2C=Q3C
Final charge on A capacitor after redistribution
=CV′=CQ3C=Q3
Final charge on B capacitor after redistribution
=2CV′=2CQ3C=2Q3
So, the ratio of charges =Q∕32Q∕3=1:2
(ii) Initially energy stored in A=12CV2
Finally energy stored in A=12CV2
=12×C×(Q3C)2
=12×C×(V3)2
=CV218
Finally energy stored in B=122CV2
=12×2C×(Q3C)2
=12×2C×(V3)2
=CV29
Total energy stored in A and B
=CV218+CV29
=CV26
So, the required ratio = Find energy stored in A and B Initial energy stored in A
=CV2∕6CV2∕2
=13
