Past Year Questions (Objective) : Term 2 Chapter 1&2

This document provides a summary of key concepts and 12 practice questions related to electric circuits and capacitors from Term 2 Chapters 1 and 2. The questions cover topics like the variation of electric potential with distance from a charged sphere, the quantity with zero value on the surface of a charged conductor, calculating current, energy, and charge in circuits involving capacitors and batteries. The document tests understanding of concepts like how capacitance and potential difference change when a capacitor is immersed in a liquid dielectric, exponential decay of potential difference across capacitor plates during discharge, and calculating voltages across capacitors connected in series.
