12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank MCQ - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    The total energy stored in the condenser system shown in the figure will be:

    A) \[8\,\mu J\]                   

    B) \[16\,\mu J\]

    C) \[2\,\mu J\]                   

    D) \[4\,\mu J\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) \[8\,\mu J\] \[3\,\mu F\] and \[6\,\mu F\]are in series. \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{3\times 6}{\left( 3+6 \right)}=2\mu F\] This is in parallel with \[2\,\mu F\]. \[\therefore \]Total capacitance in the circuit is\[4\mu F\], \[Q=CV\]. Energy \[=\frac{1}{2}QV=\left( 1/2 \right)\,{{V}^{2}}C\] \[=\left( 1/2 \right)\times {{2}^{2}}\times 4\times {{10}^{-6}}\,J=8\,\mu J\]
