Capacitance due to variable electric field: If the two conductors A and B carry equal and opposite charges create a non-uniform electric field then find the capacitance of the system. The distance between the conductors is d. If Q is the charge of each conductor and electric field E = (a + by) varies along

Kirchhoff’s law for capacitor: (i) Junction law: It states that in any isolated system of capacitor the net charge is conserved. So, the incoming charge at any junction is equal to the outgoing charge from the junction. At point P the charge incoming is taken as positive and charge outgoing is taken as negative. So,

6. Wheatstone bride combination: Calculate equivalent capacitance between points A and B. If the ratio of capacitors C1 and C2 is same to the ratio of capacitors C3 and C4 then no charge pass through capacitor C5. So, the capacitors C1, C2 and C3, C4 are in series connection and their combinations are in parallel

Time difference during sunrise and sunset: Sun is visible to an observer after the actual sunset because of refraction of light due to denser atmosphere near the earth. The apparent shift in the direction of sun is about 0.50 leading to delay of 2 minute in actual and apparent sun set. Time taken for 3600
