Q. No.Two identical capacitors, each of capacitance \(C\), are connected in series and are charged by means of an ideal battery of emf \(E\). They are disconnected and reconnected in parallel and connected to the same battery. During this reconnection, the positive terminals of the capacitors are connected to the positive terminal of the battery and their negative terminals are similarly connected together. Let, the work done by the battery during the first connection be \(W_1\), and during the second be \(W_2\). Then,
1.
\(W_1=W_2\)
2.
\(2W_1 =W_2\)
3.

A semi-circular wire carries a positive charge \(Q\) distributed uniformly over its circumference, and lies with its center at the origin and its ends on the x-axis, as shown in the figure. A single point charge is to be placed so that the net electric field due to the charge \(Q\) and the new charge \((q_1)\) is zero at the origin. Let the distance of \(q_1\) from O be \(r_1\). The potential at the origin is also zero. Which of the following is correct?
\(1.~ r_{1}< \frac{r}{2} \\ 2.~ \frac{r}{2}<r_{1}< r \\ 3.~ r<r_{1}<\frac{3 r}{2}\\ 4.~ \frac{3 r}{2}<r_{1}\)
\(1.~ r_{1}< \frac{r}{2} \\ 2.~ \frac{r}{2}<r_{1}< r \\ 3.~ r<r_{1}<\frac{3 r}{2}\\ 4.~ \frac{3 r}{2}<r_{1}\)
