Solution

Sure, let's break down these questions one by one:

a) The capacitance (C) of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the formula C = εA/d, where ε is the permittivity of the material between the plates, A is the area of one of the plates, and d is the separation between the plates.

b) The surface charge density (σ) is given by the charge (q) divided by the surface area (4πr²). Therefore, the ratio of the surface charge densities of the two spheres is σ1/σ2 = (q1/4πR1²) / (q2/4πR2²) = (q1R2²) / (q2R1²).

  1. a) The electric field (E) at a point due to a charge (Q) is given by E = kQ/r², where k is Coulomb's constant and r is the distance from the charge. The net electric field at the center of the triangle is the vector sum of the electric fields due to each charge.

b) The self-inductance (L) of a coil is given by the formula L = emf / (dI/dt), where emf is the induced electromotive force, dI is the change in current, and dt is the change in time. Therefore, L = 12V / ((6A - 2A) / 0.2s) = 0.04 H.

  1. a) The magnetic flux (Φ) through a coil is given by the formula Φ = BAcosθ, where B is the magnetic field strength, A is the area of the coil, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the normal to the coil. If the coil is perpendicular to the field lines, then θ = 0 and cosθ = 1, so Φ = BA = 0.5T * 0.02m² = 0.01 Wb.

b) The current (I) in an RC circuit as a function of time (t) is given by the formula I = V/R * e^(-t/RC), where V is the voltage, R is the resistance, C is the capacitance, and e is the base of the natural logarithm. This equation is derived from the differential equation that describes the charging or discharging of a capacitor in an RC circuit.
