NEET 2022 · PhysicsStored energyPrevious Year Question

A capacitor of capacitance C = 900 pF is charged fully by 100 V battery B. Then B is disconnected and connected to another uncharged capacitor of capacitance C = 900 pF. The electrostatic energy stored by the system (b) is:

Answer: (C) 2.25 × 10⁻⁶ J. Answer: (c) Solution: U_i = ½CV² = ½(900 × 10⁻¹²)(100)² = 4.5 × 10⁻⁶ J.

  1. A.4.5 × 10⁻⁶ J
  2. B.3.25 × 10⁻⁶ J
  3. C.2.25 × 10⁻⁶ J✓
  4. D.1.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

Correct Answer

(C) 2.25 × 10⁻⁶ J

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (c) Solution: U_i = ½CV² = ½(900 × 10⁻¹²)(100)² = 4.5 × 10⁻⁶ J. Connecting an equal uncharged capacitor halves the energy → U_f = 2.25 × 10⁻⁶ J. → option (c).
