    i = 1 A
    ∴ Vab – 2i + 5 = 0
    or Vab = – 5 + 2i
    = – 5 + 2 × 1 = –3

    Correct Option: A

  1. A capacitor consists of two metal plates each 500 × 500 mm2 and spaced 6 mm apart. The space between the metal plates is filled with a glass plate of 4 mm thickness and a layer of paper of 2 mm thickness. The relative permittivities of the glass and paper are 8 and 2 respectively. Neglecting the fringing effect, the capacitance will be (Given that ε 0 = 8.85 × 10– 12 F/m)

    By KVL in loop (1)
    5 – 1 × i 1 – 1 × i1 = 0

    ⇒ i1 =
    5
    = 2.5 A
    2

    ∴ Va = 1 × i1 = 2.5 V ...........(1)
    By KVL in loop (2)
    4 Vab = 3i + i
    i =
    4Vab
    = Vab
    4

    ∴ i = Vab ..........(2)
    Hence in loop (2)
    ⇒ Vb = 1 × i
    = 1 × Vab
    ⇒ Vb = Va – Vb
    ⇒ Vb =
    Va
    2

    (Putting Va = 2.5 V from (1) we get
    Vb =
    2.5
    = 1.25 V .......(3)
    2

    From equations (1) and (3)
    i = Vab = (Va – Vb)
    = 2.5 – 1.25 = 1.25 A

    Correct Option: B


    By KVL in loop (1)
    5 – 1 × i 1 – 1 × i1 = 0

    ⇒ i1 =
    5
    = 2.5 A

    ∴ Va = 1 × i1 = 2.5 V ...........(1)
    By KVL in loop (2)
    4 Vab = 3i + i
    i =
    4Vab
    = Vab
    4

    ∴ i = Vab ..........(2)
    Hence in loop (2)
    ⇒ Vb = 1 × i
    = 1 × Vab
    ⇒ Vb = Va – Vb
    ⇒ Vb =
    Va
    2

    (Putting Va = 2.5 V from (1) we get
    Vb =
    2.5
    = 1.25 V .......(3)

    From equations (1) and (3)
    i = Vab = (Va – Vb)
    = 2.5 – 1.25 = 1.25 A



  1. Two point charges Q1 = 10 μC and Q2 = 20 μC are placed at coordinates (1, 1, 0) and (– 1, – 1, 0) respect ively. The total electric flux passing through a plane z = 20 will be

    By Gauss’s law,
    D .ds = Qend = Ψ
    Which states that the “ total flux out of a closed surface is equal to the net charge within the surface”.

    Half of the flux will bass through the plane at z = 20 and the other half through the plane at z = – 20

    Then, Ψ' =
    Qend
    =
    20 + 10
    μc = 15 μ c
