MCQ
The distance between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is $\,4mm$ and potential difference is $60\;volts$. If the distance between the plates is increased to $12\,mm$, then
  • The potential difference of the condenser will become $180\;volts$
  • B
    The $P.D.$ will become $20\;volts$
  • C
    The $P.D.$ will remain unchanged
  • D
    The charge on condenser will reduce to one third

Answer

Correct option: A.
The potential difference of the condenser will become $180\;volts$
a
(a) For capacitor $\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}} = \frac{{{d_1}}}{{{d_2}}}$ $==>$ ${V_2} = \frac{{{V_1} \times {d_2}}}{{{d_1}}} = \frac{{60 \times 12}}{4} = 180\,V$
