versus time graph of both particles is shown in figure. Choose correct statement about the motion of
particles 1 and 2.

(B) During motion from O to P, average speed of both the particles is same.
(C*) During motion from O to P, average speed of both the particles are different.

1 is greater than that of 2. The dispalacement curve of the two will be different as they have different
acceleration.]

(A) Capacitor B has a higher dielectric constant between the plates; capacitor A has a higher breakdown

(B) Capacitor A has a higher dielectric constant between the plates; Capacitor B has a higher break
down voltage.
(C) Capacitor B has higher dielectric constant between the plates; Capacitor A has a lower breakdown
voltage.
(D*) Capacitor A has a higher dielectric constant between the plates; Capacitor B has a lower break
down voltage.
Sol. (i) At same voltage A stores more charge than B, but they same size so capacitance of A is more than B
due to higher dielectric constant between the plates of A.
(ii) Clear from graph that breakdown voltage of A is more than that of B.

[Sol. An important point to remember about electric fields is that they emanate
from positive charges and point towards negative charges. With this in
mind, we know choices A and C are incorrect. The next question is to
judge the straightness or curvature of the lines between the plates.
+ + + + + + +

Imagine a point placed directly between two parallel plates (see the diagram to the right). It will have a
net electric field determined by all the individual electric fields generated by every charge on the two
plates. For clarity, only five electric field lines are shown in the diagram. If these field lines are added
vectorially, all the horizontal components will cancel each other out; a net field oriented vertically
downward will remain (the field lines shown in the choices are the possible net electric fields). The
cancellation is due to the symmetry of the point in space with respect to the charges on the plates.
However, this horizontal component cancellation continues only until one approaches the left and right
edges of the plates. Here, the field lines bow out, much like those around a dipole (the parallel plates are
like several dipoles positioned next to each other). Remember, between parallel plates of opposite
charge, the field lines are straight. They are also constant in strength throughout the interplate region.
Thus, a parallel plate arrangement is a good design for capacitors, electrophoresis equipment, and charge
accelerators. The correct choice is B. ]
