COMEDK · Physics · 18. Capacitance

A \(10 \mathrm{mF}\) capacitor has been charged to a potential of \(100 \mathrm{~V}\). Suddenly if it explodes, the energy given out is

  1. A \(50 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(10^{5} \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(50 \mathrm{~mJ}\)
  4. D \(10^{3} \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(50 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, capacitance, \(C=10 \mathrm{mF}=10^{-2} \mathrm{~F}\) Potential, \(V=100 \mathrm{~V}\) When capacitor explodes, then its whole stored potential energy is given out in the form of heat and lightning.…
