SECTION A

Qi = CV, Qf = 3CV, charge flown :

Q = Qf Qi = 2CV
Wb = (Q)V = 2CV2
Horizontal capacitor (fitted in vertical branch) is
short circuited and remaining three are in parallel.
The circuit can be redrawn as shown, now find x.

Hence charge on plate x = 40 + 20 = 60 C

Charge on plate y = 60C
Charge on plate A = 20C
Charge on plate B = +20 C
Equivalent circuit

After withdrawing the slab :

Upper 6 F and 3 F are in series. Their equivalent
capacitance is 2 F. Now we will get a balanced
wheat stone bridge in which 3 F will be useless.
Now solve to get answer.

Electric field becomes half, so force also becomes

half.
