(c) Calculate the stored energy in the electric field before and after the process. (d) Using the expression for the force between the plates, find the work done by the person pulling the plates apart. (e) Show and justify that no heat is produced during this transfer of charge as the separation is increased.

उत्तर
Given :
Area, A = 20 `"cm"^2 = 2 xx 10^-3 "m"^2`
Separation , `d_1 = 1 "mm" = 10^-3 "m"`
Initial Capacitance of the capacitor ;
`C_1 = (∈_0A)/d_1`
`C_1 = (8.88 xx 10^-12 xx 20 xx 10^-4)/(1 xx 10^-3)`
`C_1 = 1.776 xx 10^-11 "F"`
Final capacitance of the capacitor :
`C_2 = C_1/2` (because `d_2 = d_1/2`)
(a) Charge flown through the circuit :
`Q = C_1V - C_2V`
`Q = (C_1 - C_2)V`
`Q = 1.776/2 xx 10^-11 xx 12.0`
`Q = 1.06 xx 10^-10 C`
(b) Energy absorbed by the battery :
`E = QV = 1.06 xx 10^-10 xx 12`
`E = 12.72 xx 10^-10 J`
(c) Energy stored before the process, `E_i = 1/2C_1V^2`
⇒ `E_i = 1/2 xx 1.776 xx 10^-11 xx (12)^2`
⇒ `E_i = 12.7 xx 10^-10 J`
Energy stored after the process, `E_f = 1/2 C_2V^2`
⇒ `E_f = 1/2 xx 1.776/2 xx 10^-11 xx (12)^2`
⇒ `E_f = 6.35 xx 10^-10 J`
(d) Work done, W = Force × Distance
= `1/2 xx (Q^2)/(∈_0A) xx 1 xx 10^(-3)`
= `1/2 xx (12 xx 12 xx ∈_0 xx ∈_0 xx 10^(-3))/(∈_0 xx 2 xx 10^(-3))`
⇒ W = 6.35 × 10−10 J
(e) Transfer of charge as the separation is increased
`ΔE = E_i - E_f`
W = 6.35 × 10−10 J
⇒ ΔE = W
