Questions  

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are connected to the terminals of a battery and the magnitude of electric force of attraction acting on each plate is F. If the separation between the plates is doubled, the force of attraction on each plate will be 

a
F
b
F/2
c
F/4
d
F/8

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Q=CV=∈0AdVF=σ2∈0Q=Q22∈0A⇒F=12∈0A.(∈0AVd)2=∈0AV22d2⇒F∝1d2∴ F'F=d2(2d)2⇒F'=F/4
