In the given circuit, the switch S is closed at time \(t=0\). The charge Q on the capacitor at any instant t is given by \(Q(t)=Q_0(1-e^{-\alpha t})\). Find the value of Q\(_0\) and \(\alpha\) in terms of given parameters shown in the circuit.

In the following circuits, it is given that $\mathrm{R}_1=1 \Omega, \mathrm{R}_2=2 \Omega, \mathrm{C}_1=2 \mu \mathrm{~F}$ and $\mathrm{C}_2=4 \mu \mathrm{~F}$.

A circuit is connected as shown in the figure with the switch S open. When the switch is closed, the total amount of charge that flows from Y to X is

Column I gives certain situations in which a straight metallic wire of resistance R is used and Column II gives some resulting effects. Match the statements in Column I with the statements in Column II and indicate your answer by darkening appropriate bubbles in the 4 \(\times\) 4 matrix given in the ORS.

At time t = 0, a battery of 10 V is connected across points A and B in the given circuit. If the capacitors have no charge initially, at what time (in seconds) does the voltage across them becomes 4 V? (Take ln5 = 1.6, ln3 = 1.1)

A medium having dielectric constant $K>1$ fills the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The plates have large area, and the distance between them is $d$. The capacitor is connected to a battery of voltage $V$, as shown in Figure (a). Now, both the plates are moved by a distance of $\frac{d}{2}$ from their original positions, as shown in Figure (b).

In the process of going from the configuration depicted in Figure (a) to that in Figure (b), which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
