NEET Physics: Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance — MCQ Test 1

Q6. A dielectric slab is inserted into a parallel plate capacitor while maintaining a constant charge. Why does the potential difference between the plates increase if the slab is removed partially?

Q7. Two charges \( 28 \, \mu\text{C} \) and \( -14 \, \mu\text{C} \) are placed 28 cm apart. What is the potential energy of the system? (Take \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-2} \)).

Q8. A spherical conductor of radius 2 cm has a charge of \( 2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \). What is the potential at its surface? (Take \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-2} \)).

Q9. In a series combination of capacitors, why does each capacitor have the same charge but different potential differences?

Q10. Two charges \( 20 \, \mu\text{C} \) and \( -8 \, \mu\text{C} \) are placed 20 cm apart. What is the potential energy of the system? (Take \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-2} \)).
