A \(10 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) capacitor is charged by a 100 V battery. It is disconnected from the battery and is connected to another uncharged capacitor of capacitance \(30 \mu \mathrm{~F}\). During this process, the electrostatic energy lost by the first capacitor is

  1. A \(5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(1.25 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(2.75 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(3.75 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3.75 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C_1=10 \mu \mathrm{~F}, \mathrm{~V}_1=100 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{C}_2=\mu \mathrm{F}, \mathrm{~V}_2=0\) During sharing of capacitors,…
