Question

One of the plates of capacitors is connected to a source of constant negative potential and the electrons accumulated on it are 1012. When the other plate is earthed, the number of electrons now present on the plate will be : (A) zero (B) 1012 (C) less than 1012 (D) more than 1012

When the other plate is earthed, the potential of the first plate falls. So, additional charge or electrons will come to the plate from the source of emf.

Q. One of the plates of capacitors is connected to a source of constant negative potential and the electrons accumulated on it are $1 0^{12}$ . When the other plate is earthed, the number of electrons now present on the plate will be :

zero

$1 0^{12}$

less than $1 0^{12}$

more than $1 0^{12}$
