- Paragraph:
A small block of mass \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) is released from rest at the top of a rough track. The track is a circular arc of radius \(40 \mathrm{~m}\). The block slides along the track without toppling and a frictional force acts on it in the direction opposite to the instantaneous velocity. The work done in overcoming the friction up to the point \(Q\), as shown in the figure below, is \(150 \mathrm{~J}\). (Take the acceleration due to gravity, \(g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\) ).

- Paragraph:
Consider a simple \(R C\) circuit as shown in Figure \(1\).
Process 1: In the circuit the switch \(S\) is closed at \(t=0\) and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage \(V_{0}\) (i.e., charging continues for time \(T>>R C\) ). In the process some dissipation \(\left(E_{D}\right)\) occurs across the resistance \(R\). The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is \(E_{C}\).
Process 2: In a different process the voltage is first set to \(\frac{V_{0}}{3}\) and maintained for a charging time \(T>>R C\). Then the voltage is raised to \(\frac{2 V_{0}}{3}\) without discharging the capacitor and again maintained for a time \(T>>R C\). The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to \(V_{0}\) and the capacitor is charged to the same final voltage \(V_{0}\) as in Process 1.
These two processes are depicted in Figure \(2 .\)
