The capacitance between the adjacent plates shown in figure (31-E20) is 50 nF. A charge of 1.0 μC is placed on the middle plate. (a) What will be the charge on the outer surface of the upper plate ? (b) Find the potential difference developed between the upper and the middle plates.
(a) When charge of 1 μC is introduced to the B plate, we also get a 0.5 μC charge on the upper surface of plate A
(b) Given, C=50 μF=50×10−9 F
=5×10−8 F
Now charge =0.5×10−6 C
v=10 V
