A table tennis ball that has been covered with conducting paint is suspended by a silk thread so that it hangs between two plates, out of which one is earthed and other is connected to a high voltage generator. This ball

(1) Is attracted towards high voltage plate and stays there

(2) Hangs without moving

(3) Swing backward and forward hitting each plate in turn

(4) Is attracted to the earthed plate and stays there

Eight drops of mercury of equal radii possessing equal charges combine to form a big drop. Then the capacitance of bigger drop compared to each individual small drop is 

1. 8 times

2. 4 times

3. 2 times

4. 32 times

The capacity of parallel plate condenser depends on 

1. The type of metal used

2. The thickness of plates

3. The potential applied across the plates

4. The separation between the plates

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is C. It's capacity when the separation between the plates is halved will be?

1. 4 C

2. 2 C

3. $\frac{C}{2}$

4. $\frac{C}{4}$

The capacity of a parallel plate capacitor increases with the 

1. Decrease of its area

2. Increase of its distance

3. Increase of its area

4. None of the above
