A capacitor of capacitance \( C = 10 \text{ } \mu\text{F} \) is charged by connecting it to a battery of emf 12 V. The capacitor is now disconnected and reconnected to the battery with the polarity reversed. The heat developed in the connecting wires will be:

  1. A 2.88 mJ
  2. B 1.44 mJ
  3. C 0.72 mJ
  4. D 0.36 mJ
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.88 mJ

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( H = 2CV^2 \) \( H = 2(10 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F})(12 \text{ V})^2 \) \( H = 2(10 \times 10^{-6})(144) \) \( H = 2880 \times 10^{-6} \text{ J} \) \( H = 2.88 \text{ mJ} \)
