उत्तर
Given :
`C_1 = 5 "uF" and V_1 = 24 V`
`therefore q_1 = C_1V_1 = 5 xx 24 = 120 "uC"`
and
`C_2 = 6 "uF" and V_2 = 12 V`
`therefore q_2 = C_2V_2 = 6 xx 12 = 72 "uC"`
(a)
Energy stored in the first capacitor :
`U_1 = 1/2 C_1V_1^2`
= `1440 "J" = 1.44 "mJ"`
Energy stored in the second capacitor :
`U_2 = 1/2 C_1V_2^2`
= `432 "J" = 0.432 "mJ"`
(b) The capacitors are connected to each other in such a way that the positive plate of the first capacitor is connected to the negative plate of the second capacitor and vice versa.
∴ Net change in the system, `Q_"net" = 120 - 72 = 48`
Now, let V be the common potential of the two capacitors.
From the conservation of charge before and after connecting, we get
`V = Q_"net"/((C_1 + C_2))`
= `48/((5+6))`
= 4.36 V
New charges :
`q_1^' = C_1V = 5 xx 4.36 = 21.8 "uC"`
and
`q_2^' = C_2V = 6 xx 4.36 = 26.2 "uC"`
(c)
Given :
`U_1 = 1/2 C_1V^2`
and
`U_2 = 1/2 C_2V^2`
`therefore U_f = 1/2 V_2 (C_1 + C_2)`
= `1/2 (4.36)^2 (5+6)`
= `1/2 xx 19 xx 11`
= `104.5 xx 10^-6 "J"`
= `0.1045 "mJ"`
`"But" U_i = 1.44 + 0.433 = 1.873`
Loss of Energy :
`ΔU = 1.873 - 0.1045`
= 1.7678
= `1.77 "mJ"`
(d) The energy is dissipated as heat.
