Answer #1

11.

The equivalent capacitance for capacitors connected in series is given by

                                                      

                                     or,          

The equivalent capacitance for the capacitors connected in parallel is given by

                                                    

So, if we connect four 1 mF capacitor in parallel then the equivalent capacitance will be

                                                     

So, if we connect four 1 mF capacitor in series then the equivalent capacitance will be

                                                     

12.

The electric field lines show the strength of the field in the region.

It is clear that the strength of the electric field due to the charge Q2 is twice of that of the field due to the charge Q1.

The electric field due to the charge Q1 at a distance 'r' is given by

                                              

So, the ratio of both the charges will be

                                              

But both the charges are of opposite nature. So,

Answer #2
In case of series the total capicitance will be 1/4mf. While in case of parallel combination the total capicitance of a capacitor will be 4mF.
