  1. A QV/4
  2. B zero
  3. C QV/2
  4. D QV/3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) QV/2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy supplied by battery: \( E_{battery} = QV \) Energy stored in capacitor: \( E_{capacitor} = \frac{1}{2} QV \) Energy lost as heat: \( E_{heat} = E_{battery} - E_{capacitor} = QV - \frac{1}{2} QV = \frac{1}{2} QV \)
