connected to each other by a rigid conducting rod can slide over frictionless rails as shown. Initially the

Sol. So,

(x  1) + 2 (x   + 2) + 3 (x   3) + (x  0) = 0

 7 x  6 = 6  (1) and
2 (x  + 2) = 4 (given)
So, 2 x  2  = 0  (2) giving x = 
Hence =x=6V
Also, we can have 2 ( 2  x) = 4 So, x = 4  (3)
From (1) & (3) we get x = 30 So  = 6 V or  = 34 V Ans.

27. STATEMENT-1 : A parallel plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 100V, and disconnected
from the voltage source. A slab of dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. Compared to
the energy before the slab was inserted, the energy stored in the capacitor with the dielectric is
decreased.
STATEMENT-2 : When we insert a dielectric between the plates of a capacitor, the induced charges
tend to draw in the dielectric into the field ( just as neutral objects are attracted by charged objects due
to induction). We resist this force while slowly inserting the dielectric, and thus do negative work on the
system, removing electrostatic energy from the system. Made MPS 2008 P & F Batch

Sol. So,

(x  1) + 2 (x   + 2) + 3 (x   3) + (x  0) = 0

 7 x  6 = 6  (1) and
2 (x  + 2) = 4 (given)
So, 2 x  2  = 0  (2) giving x = 
Hence =x=6V
Also, we can have 2 ( 2  x) = 4 So,
 x = 4  (3)
From (1) & (3) we get x = 30 So  = 6 V or  = 34 V
