9. In each situation of Column I some changes are made to a charged capacitor under conditions of constant potential difference or constant charge. Condition of constant potential difference means that a cell is connected across the capacitor and condition of constant charge means that the capacitor is isolated. Match the condition is Column-I with corresponding results in ColumnII Column-I Column-II

10. A thin insulator rod is placed between two unlike point charges + q1, and - q2 (shown in figure). The magnitude of electrostatic force on q, in the absence of the insulator rod is F1. But the magnitude of electrostatic force on q1 in the presence of the insulator rod is F2, then:

(a) F1=F2 (b) F1< F2 (c) F1 > F2 (d) none of these 11. A point charge +q and a charge (- q) are placed at x = -a and x = + a respectively. Which of the following represents a part of E -- x graph ?

12. If two electric charges q and - 2q are placed at a distance 6a apart, then the locus of point in the plane of charge, where the field potential is zero, is : (a) x2 + 2X/2 - 4ax - 12a2 = 0 (b) 2x2 + y2 + 4ax - 12a2 = 0 (c) x2 + y2 + 4ax-12a2 = 0 (d) x2 + y2 + 8ax + 12a2 = 0

13. A sheet of aluminum foil of negligible thickness is placed between the plates of a capacitor of capacitance C as shown in the figure then capacitance of capacitor becomes

(a) 2C (b) C (c) C/2 (d) zero 14. Calculate the reading of voltmeter between x and y then {Vx - Vy) is equal to :

(a) 1.3 V $$$$

(b) 13.33 V

(c) 3.33 V (d) 10.33 V
