Answer Key : (a) -

(a)

The capacitance (C) of a capacity is defined as the ratio of the charge (q) given to the rise in the potential (V) of the conductor. When the plates are moved apart, the charge remains constant, hence

Capacitance (C) of a parallel plate capacitor is given by

Where A is area of plates and d the separation between them.

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have

When plates are moved apart,  increases, hence value of C decreases and in order that charge (q) remains constant V increases.



Next Question :

Three equal resistances, each of 10  are connected as shown in figure. The maximum power consumed by each resistance is 20 W. What is maximum power that can be consumed by the combination?

a)

5 W

b)

15 W

c)

30 W

d)

60 W
