On plate of a capacitor is connected to a spring as shown in fig. Area of both the plates is A. In steady state, separation between the plates is 0 8 d (spring was in its natural length and the distance between the plates was d when the capacitor was uncharged). The force constant of the spring is approximately

Detailed Solution

The electrostatic attraction between the plates = spring force ∴ q22ε0A=kx or (CV)22ε0A=k[d−0⋅8d]or ε0A0⋅8d2V22ε0A=k(0⋅2d)or k=ε0AV20⋅256d3≈4ε0AV2d3.
