Two parallel plate capacitors with different distances between the plates are connected in parallel to a voltage source. A point positive charge Q is moved from a point 1 that is exactly in the middle between the plates of a capacitor C 1 to a point 2 (which lie in capacitor C 2 ) that lies at a distance from the negative plate of C 2 equal to half the distance between the plates of C 1 . Is any work done in the process? If yes, calculate the work done by the field if potential at 1 and 2 are V 1 and V 2 .

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION.
work done by the field = Q (V 1 - V 2 ) = Q (V 1 - V 2 )
Sol. W = q Δ V
W by field = q (V i – V f ) = Q (V 1 – V 2 )
