JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
A capacitor of capacitance \(900\,\mu F\) is charged by a \(100\,V\) battery. The capacitor is disconnected from the battery and connected to another uncharged identical capacitor such that one plate of uncharged capacitor connected to positive plate and another plate of uncharged capacitor connected to negative plate of the charged capacitor. The loss of energy in this process is measured as \(x \times 10^{-2}\,J\). The value of \(x\) is \(..............\)
- A \(224\)
- B \(223\)
- C \(222\)
- D \(225\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(225\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(C =900\,\mu F\) \(Q = CV =900 \times 10^{-6} \times 100=9 \times 10^{-2}=90\,MC\) Now Common potential will be developed across both capacitors by \(kVL\) Total charge on left plates of capacitors should be conserved. \(90\,mc +0=2\,cv _0\) \(cv _0=45\,mc\) Heat dissipated…
