    Case Study 1: CH 2: Electric Potential and Capacitance Class Xii Subject Physics

    Uploaded by

    Daksh Yadav
    This document discusses electric potential and capacitance. It includes two case studies with questions. Case Study 1 discusses polarization of dielectrics in an external electric field and its relation to surface charge density and the forces and energy involved in a capacitor with a dielectric. Case Study 2 discusses equipotential surfaces as surfaces with the same electric potential and how changing the medium affects potential. Assertion-Reason questions are also included about equipotential surfaces and how capacitance is affected by changing distance and dielectric constant.

    CH 2: ELECTRIC POTENTIAL AND CAPACITANCE CLASS XII SUBJECT PHYSICS

    Case study 1
    When an insulator is placed in an external field, the dipoles become aligned. Induced surface charges on the insulator
    establish a polarization field Ē i in its interior. The net field Ē in the insulator is the vector sum of Ē, and Ē i as shown in the
    figure.

    On the application of external electric field, the effect of aligning the electric dipoles in the insulator is called
    polarisation and the field Ē; is known as the polarisation field.
    The dipole moment per unit volume of the dielectric is known as polarisation (P).
    For linear isotropic dielectrics, P =χE, where χ = electrical susceptibility of the dielectric medium.

    1. Write relation between polarization and charge density.


    2. When air is replaced by a dielectric medium of constant K, the maximum force of attraction between two
    charges separated by a distance
    (a) increases K times
    (b) remains unchanged
    (c) decreases K times
    (d) increases 2K times.
    3. A capacitor is charged and then battery is disconnected, A dielectric slab is inserted between the plates of
    capacitor so that it fill space between that. The quantity that remain same is
    (a) Charge
    (b) Potential
    (c) Electric field
    (d) Energy stored
    4. The energy stored in capacitor in above case will
    (a) Increases
    (b) Decreases
    (c) Same
    (d) Becomes K2 times

    Case Study 2
    The surface, the locus of all points at the same potential, is known as the equipotential surface. No work is
    required to move a charge from one point to another on the equipotential surface. In other words, any
    surface with the same electric potential at every point is termed as an equipotential surface.
    1. If electric potential V within a certain region is constant, what is the nature of electric field inside the
    region?
    2. If two electrons are brought near each other, what happens to their potential energy?
    (a) decreases
    (b) increases
    (c) same
    (d) does not depend
    3. What is the shape of the equipotential surface for the point charge and for the line charge?
    (a) Sphere and sphere
    (b) Sphere and cylinder
    (c) Cylinder and sphere
    (d) Cylinder and cylinder
    4. Will there be effect in the potential if the medium around the charge is changed?

    ASSERTION REASON
    1. Assertion : Two equipotential surfaces cannot cut each other.
    Reason : Two equipotential surfaces are parallel to each other.
    2.  Assertion : If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and dielectric constant is three times,
    then the capacitance becomes 6 times.
    Reason : Capacity of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material.
    3. Assertion : For a charged particle moving from point P to point Q, the net work done by an electrostatic field on
    the particle is independent of the path connecting point P to point Q.
    Reason : The net work done by a conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.
