Q.

An uncharged parallel plate capacitor having its lower end fixed and upper end is attached with spring having spring constant K. Upper plate is in equilibrium before switch is closed. After switch is closed, the condition on the potential of battery so that the system can acquire new equilibrium position is  V(pq)rL3Kε0A. Then  p+q+r  is? [ p & q are smallest integers and V is potential across the battery]

Let in new equilibrium the upper plate is displaced by x units.
If we get real x less than L then only new equilibrium is achieved.
Here, force between plates of capacitor = spring force
Kx=Q22Aε0,   where, x = extension in spring and A is area of the plate.
We know that, after connecting the switch,  Q=C'V
 So,  Kx=12Aε0[Aε0LzV]2
Maximum value of  Kx(Lx)2
We get  K(Lx)2+2K(Lx)(1)=0
 x=L/3
Maximum value of    Kx(Lx)2=K4L327
So for real x,
  K4L327Aε02V2  V(23)3L3KAε0  
Hence, the value of  p+q+r=8
