4 pF
The given arrangement of nine plates is equivalent to the parallel combination of 8 capacitors.
The capacity of each capacitor,
Hence, the capacity of 8 capacitors
= 8C = 8 × 0.5 = 4 pF
A 30 V, 90 W lamp is to be operated on a 120 V DC line. For proper glow, a resistor of ....... Ω should be connected in series with the lamp.

A battery consists of a variable number (n) of identical cells, each having an internal resistance r connected in series. The terminals of the battery are short-circuited. A graph of current (I) in the circuit versus the number of cells will be as shown in figure
In a LCR series circuit, the potential difference between the terminals of the inductance is 60 V between the terminals of the capacitor is 30 V and that across the resistance is 40 V. Then, supply voltage will be equal to
50 V
70 V
130 V
10 V
When deuterium and helium are subjected to an accelerating field simultaneously then
both acquire same energy
deuterium accelerates faster
helium accelerates faster
neither of them is accelerated
A solenoid 1.5 m long and 0.4 cm in diameter possesses 10 turns per cm length. A current of 5 A falls through it. The magnetic field at the axis inside the solenoid is
A wire PQR is bent as shown in figure and is placed in a region of uniform magnetic field B. The length of PQ = QR = l. A current I ampere flows through the wire as shown. The magnitude of the force on PQ and QR will be
BIl, 0

A choke is preferred to a resistance for limiting current in AC circuit because
choke is cheap
there is no wastage of power
choke is compact in size
choke is a good absorber of heat
A current of 6 A enters one corner P of an equilateral triangle PQR having 3 wires of resistances 2 Ω each and leaves by the comer R. Then the current I1 and I2 are
2 A, 4 A
4 A, 2 A
1 A, 2 A
2 A, 3 A
The twinkling effect of star light is due to
total internal reflection
high dense matter of star
constant burning of hydrogen in the star
the fluctuating apparent position of the star being slightly different from the actual position of the star
