Question

The capacitance between the adjacent plates shown in figure (31-E20) is 50μF. A charge of 1.0μC is placed on the middle plate, (a) What will be the charge on the outer surface of the upper plate ? (b) Find the potential difference developed between the upper and the middle plates.

Answer 1

(a) When charge of 1μc is introduced to the B plate, we also get 0.5μc charge on the upper surface of Plate ‘A’.
