NEET Solved Paper 2018 Question 23

Question: The electrostatic force between the metal plates of an isolated parallel plate capacitor C having a charge Q and area A, is [NEET - 2018]

Options:

A) Proportional to the square root of the distance between the plates

B) Linearly proportional to the distance between the plates

C) Independent of the distance between the plates

D) Inversely proportional to the distance between the plates

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • For isolated capacitor Q = Constant
    $ {F _{plate}}\text{=}\frac{Q^{2}}{2A{\varepsilon_0}} $ F is Independent of the distance between plates.
