Charge Q is given to the upper plate of an isolated parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C. The potential difference between the plates |
$\frac{Q}{C}$ $\frac{Q}{C/2}$ $\frac{Q/2}{C}$ Zero |
$\frac{Q/2}{C}$ |
In general, for charge Q1 and Q2on upper and lower plate respectively the charge distributions on outer and inner part of the plates are shown in figure. Here Q1 =Q, Q2 = 0 \ Charge on inner side of plate are $\frac{Q}{2}$ and $\frac{-Q}{2}$ respectively. $\text{Hence } V = \frac{Q}{2C}$ |
