PhysicsElectrostatic Potential and CapacitanceMHT CET 2026

Two indentical metal plates are given charges q and q (q< q) respectively. They are brought close together to form a parallel plate capacitor with capacitance 'C'. The potential difference 'V' between the plates is

Answer: (C)

Solution

When two identical plates with charges and are brought close, the charges redistribute so that the outer surfaces each carry , and the inner surfaces carry and . Only the inner charges contribute to the field between the plates, so
