REVISION: Electric Potential
and Capacitors.
Q1. Figure shows the variation of voltage V
across the plates of two capacitors A and B
versus increase in charge Q stored in them.
Which of the capacitors has higher
capacitance? Give reason for your answer.
Q2. Two conducting spheres of radii 6 cm
and 12 cm each, having the same charge 3
x 10-8 C, are kept very far apart. If the
spheres are connected to each other by a
conducting wire, find
(i) the direction and amount of
charge transferred and
(ii) final potential of each sphere
Q3. A sphere of radius 0.03 m is suspended
within a hollow sphere of radius 0.05 m. If the
inner sphere is charged to a potential of 1500
volt and outer sphere is earthed, find the
capacitance and the charge on the inner
sphere

Q4. At what distance should an object be
placed from a convex lens of focal length
15 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 to obtain an image three times the size
of the object? [Punjab 04]
Q5. A convex lens of focal length 30 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 is
placed between a screen and a square plate
of area 4 𝑐𝑐𝑚𝑚2 . The image of the plate formed
on the screen is 16 𝑐𝑐𝑚𝑚2 . Calculate the
distance between the plate and the screen.
Q6. The image of a needle placed 45 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐
from a lens is formed on a screen placed
90 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 on the other side of the lens. Find the
displacement of the image, if the object is
moved by 5.0 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 away from the lens. [Punjab

Q7. A source of light and a screen are placed
90 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 apart. Where should a convex lens of
20 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 focal length be placed in order to form
a real image of the source on the screen?
Q8. An object is placed at a distance of 1.5 𝑚𝑚
from a screen and a convex lens is
interposed between them. The magnification
produced is 4. What is the focal length of the
lens?

Q11. An object is placed 12 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 in front of a
object is formed on the screen by a convex
lens to form an image on a screen. The size
lens for two different locations of the lens
of the image is twice that of the object. What

Q10. A man wishes to view an object

through a convex lens of focal length 10 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐.
The final image is to be erect and object
through through a convex lens magnified 2
times. How far from the object must he hold
the lens?
