C = 3.5416 \times 10^{-12} F
for \epsilon_r = 5
C = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A }{d}
C = \dfrac{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \times 5 \times 0.01}{2.5 \times 10^{-1}}
C = 1.7708 \times 10^{-11}

C = \dfrac{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \times 1 \times 500 \times 10^{-4}}{0.15 \times 10^{-3}}
C = 2.9513 \times 10^{-9} F
Q = CV
V = \dfrac{Q}{C}
V = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{2.9513 \times 10^{-9} }
V = 677.6674 V
D = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{500 \times 10^{-4}}
D = 4 \times 10^{-5} \; C/m^2

C = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A }{d}
C = \dfrac{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \times 1 \times 0.01}{2.5 \times 10^{-2}}
C = 3.5416 \times 10^{-12} F
For \epsilon_r = 5
C = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A }{d}

5) A 5 \muF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 110 V and then connected in parallel with an uncharged 3 \muF capacitor. Calculate the potential difference across the parallel capacitor.
Q_1 = C_1 \times V_1 = 5 \times 10^{-6} \times 110 = 5.5 \times 10^{-4} C
Both the capacitors are connected in parallel. Therefore voltage across both the capacitor will remain same.
V_1 = V_2
\dfrac{q_1}{C_1} = \dfrac{q_2}{C_2}
Now capacitor C_2 is uncharged, therefore the charge will flow from C_1 to C_2 and this flow of charge will stop when the potential difference across C_1 and C_2 will become equal i.e. V_1 = V_2. Capacitor C_1 will loose charge say q_2 and capacitor C_2 will gain that charge q_2. Hence new charge on C_1 will become q_1.
\therefore Charge on C_1 will be q_1 = Q_1 – q_2
\dfrac{Q_1 – q_2}{C_1} = \dfrac{q_2}{C_2}
\dfrac{(5.5 \times 10^{-4}) – q_2}{5 \times 10^-6} = \dfrac{q_2}{3 \times 10^-6}
q_2 = 2.06525 \times 10^{-4}
V_1 = V_2 = \dfrac{q_2}{C_2} = 68.75 V
Method 2
Q_1 = C_1 \times V_1 = 5.5 \times 10^{-4} C
When the capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is 8 \mu F and the charge of 0.01 C is divided between the two capacitor.
Q = CV
V = \dfrac{Q}{C}
V = \dfrac{5.5 \times 10 ^{-4}}{8 \times 10^{-6}}
V = 68.75 V
6) A 2 \mu F capacitor is charged to 100 V and 3 \mu F capacitor to 200 V. After disconnecting the supply capacitor terminal of similar polarity are connected together calculate the potential difference between the terminal.
Initial charge on each capacitor.
Q_{1i} = C_1V_1 = 2 \times 10^{-6} \times 100 = 2 \times 10^{-4} C
Q_{2i} = C_2V_2 = 3 \times 10^{-6} \times 100 = 6 \times 10^{-4} C
Now, V_1 = V_2
\dfrac{Q_{1i} + Q}{C_1} = \dfrac{Q_{2i} – Q}{C_2}
\dfrac{2 \times 10^{-4} + Q}{ 2 \times 10^{-6}} = \dfrac{6 \times 10^{-4} – Q}{ 3 \times 10^{-6}}
Q = 1.2 \times 10^{-4} C
V_1 = V_2 = \dfrac{Q_{1i} + Q}{C_1} = \dfrac{( 2 \times 10^{-4} )+(1.2 \times 10^{-4})}{ 2 \times 10^{-6} } = 160 \;V
Note: In the above numerical Q_{1i} < Q_{2i}, therefore after connecting similar terminals of the capacitors capacitor C_2 will lose some charge and C_1 will gain some charge

V_C = V (1 – e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}})
160 = 200(1-e^{\frac{-t}{4}})
t = 6.4377 sec

Given: l_1 = 25 cm; l_2 = 10 cm; a_1 = 4 cm^2; a_2 = 6 cm^2; B = 1.5 T; \mu_r = 1000
S = S_1 + S_2
S = \dfrac{l_1}{\mu_0 \mu_r A_1} + \dfrac{l_2}{\mu_0 \mu_r A_2}

S = 629988.3164 AT/Wb.
B_2 = \dfrac{\phi}{A_2}
\phi = 1.5 \times 6 \times 10^{-4} = 9 \times 10^{-4} Wb.
F = \phi \times S
NI = \phi \times S
N = \dfrac{S \phi}{I} = \dfrac{629988.3164 \times 9 \times 10^{-4}}{0.5}
