JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

A capacitor of capacitance \(\mathrm{C}\) and potential \(\mathrm{V}\) has energy \(E\). It is connected to another capacitor of capacitance \(2 \mathrm{C}\) and potential \(2 \mathrm{~V}\). Then the loss of energy is \(\frac{x}{3} E\), where \(\mathrm{x}\) is _______.

  1. A \(45\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(19\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy loss \(=\frac{1}{2} \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1+C_2}\left(V_1-V_2\right)^2\) \( =\frac{2}{3} \cdot E \) \( \therefore x=2\)
