JEE Main 6 April 2024, Shift 2, Physics Q52

Question 52 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 22 of 30, Section B.

A capacitor of 10 μF10\ \mu\mathrm{F} capacitance whose plates are separated by 10 mm through air and each plate has area 4 cm24\ \mathrm{cm}^2 is now filled equally with two dielectric media of K1=2K_1=2, K2=3K_2=3 respectively as shown in figure. If new force between the plates is 8 N. The supply voltage is ________ V.

The figure, in words

Parallel-plate capacitor with plate separation d; the space between plates is divided side by side into two halves: left half dielectric K1=2, right half (hatched) dielectric K2=3.

Question text from the official JEE Main paper published by NTA; answer from the final answer key. Chapter, topic and idea tags, difficulty and skill are Lumi’s. This question needs a figure we do not reproduce; it is described in words above. Lumi analyses 42 of the 174 JEE Main shifts held from 2017 to 2026.
