Two capacitors of capacities \(1 \mu \mathrm{F}\) and \(C \mu \mathrm{F}\) are connected in series and the combination is charged to a potential difference of \(120 \mathrm{~V}\). If the charge on the combination is \(80 \mu \mathrm{C}\), the energy stored in the capacitor of capacity \(C\) in \(\mu \mathrm{J}\) is

  1. A 1800
  2. B 1600
  3. C 14400
  4. D 7200

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1600

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Capacitances \(1 \mu \mathrm{F}\) and \(C \mu \mathrm{F}\) are connected in series, then \(C_{\text {eq }}=\frac{C}{1+C}\) Given, \(V=120 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(q=80 \mu \mathrm{C}\) \(\because \quad q=C_{\mathrm{eq}} V\) \(80=\frac{C}{C+1} \times 120\) or…
