    If the potential of a capacitor having capacity \[6\mu F\] is increased from \[10volt\] to \[20volt\] then increase \[m\] its energy is

    A) \[12\times {{10}^{-6}}J\]                              

    B) \[9\times {{10}^{-4}}J\]

    C) \[4.5\times {{10}^{-6}}J\]                            

    D) \[2.25\times {{10}^{-6}}J\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given:\[C=6\mu F,\,\,{{V}_{1}}=10\,\,volt\],                 \[{{V}_{2}}=2\,\,volt\] Increase in energy                 \[E=\frac{1}{2}CV_{2}^{2}-\frac{1}{2}CV_{1}^{2}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}C(V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2})\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times {{10}^{-6}}({{20}^{2}}-{{10}^{2}})\]                 \[=3\times {{10}^{-6}}({{20}^{2}}-{{10}^{2}})\]                 \[=3\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 300=9\times {{10}^{-4}}\text{J}\]
