A parallel plate capacitor C with plates of unit area and separation d is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant K = 2. The level of liquid is $$\frac{d}{3}$$ initially. Suppose the liquid level decreases at a constant speed V, the time constant as a function of time t is:

A light beam is travelling from Region I to Region IV (Refer figure). The refractive index in Regions I, II, III and IV are $${n_0},{{{n_0}} \over 2},{{{n_0}} \over 6}$$ and $${{{n_0}} \over 8}$$, respectively. The angle of incidence $$\theta$$ for which the beam just misses entering Region IV is

STATEMENT 1 : It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground.

and

STATEMENT 2 : The magnitude of frictional force depends on the nature of the two surfaces in contact.

STATEMENT 1 : For practical purposes, the earth is used as a reference at zero potential in electrical circuits.

and

STATEMENT 2 : The electrical potential of a sphere of radius R with charge Q uniformly distributed on the surface is given by $${Q \over {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}R}}$$
