Question 1

An isolated parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C has plates X and Y. If plate X is given charge Q, the potential difference between X and Y is

(a) zero

(b) 2Q/C

(c) Q/C

(d) Q/2C

Question 2

Correct Answer is: (d) Q/2C

In the isolated capacitor the charge distribution will be as shown. The potential difference between the plates depends only on the charges on the inner surfaces, this will be 1/C (Q/2).
