उत्तर
As a capacitor of capacitance C is connected to the battery of voltage V, one of its plates gets charged to Q = CV and the other gets charged to −Q coulomb. When the polarity is reversed, charge −Q appears on the first plate and charge +Q appears on the second plate. So to maintain these charges, charge 2Q passes through the battery from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
The work done by the battery is given by `W = 2QV = 2CE^2`
In the given process, the capacitor's energy remains the same in both cases. The work done by the battery appears as heat in the connecting wires.
Now,
Heat produced :
`H = 2CE^2`
`H = 2 xx (5 xx 10^-6) xx 144`
`H = 144 xx 10^-5 "J"= 1.44 "mJ"`

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. |
