Question

One plate of a capacitor is fixed, and the other is connected to a spring as shown in figure. The area of both the plates is A. In the steady state (equilibrium), separation between the plates is 0.8d (spring was unstretched, and the distance between the plates was d, when the capacitor was uncharged). The force constant of the spring is approximately.

Solution

The correct option is A 12532ε0AE2d3
Force on plates due to charged capacitor = Force due to spring
F=Kx
Q22ε0A=K(0.2d)
Now Q=CE, C=ϵ0AD=ϵ0A0.8d
Q=ϵ0A0.8dE
(ε0A0.8dE)22ε0A=0.2Kd
K=125ε0AE232d3
