Question
If the capacitors in the previous question are joined in parallel, the capacitance and the breakdown voltage of the combination will be:
  1. 2C and 2V
  2. C and 2V
  3. 2C and V
  4. C and V

Answer

  1. 2C and V

Explanation:

In a parallel combination of capacitors, the potential difference across the capacitors remain the same, as the right-hand-side plates and the left-hand-side plates of both the capacitors are connected to the same terminals of the battery. Therefore, the potential remains the same, that is, V.

For the parallel combination of capacitors, the capacitance is given by

Ceq = C1 + C2

Here,

C1 = C2 = C

$\therefore$ Ceq = 2C

The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is $\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\in_0^2\text{h}^2}$. (m = electron mass).
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving arround it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be,
$\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\in_0^2\text{h}^2}$ (M = proton mass)
This last expression is not correct because:
