उत्तर
Since the switch is opened for a long time, the capacitor is in series.
`therefore C_(eq) = C/2`
When the switch is closed, the charge flown from the battery is given by
`q = C/2 xx ε =( Cε)/2`
(b) Work done, `W = q xx V`
`⇒ q = C_ε/2 xx ε = (Cε^2)/2`
(c) The change in the energy stored in the capacitors is given by
`ΔE = 1/2 C_(eq) xx V_2`
`= 1/2 xx C/2 xx ε^2 = 1/4 Cε^2`
(d) The heat developed in the system is given by
H = ΔE
`⇒ H = 1/4 Cε^2`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
