    If the potential of a capacitor having capacity \[8\,\mu F\] is increased from 15V to 25 V, then increase in its energy is :

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

    B)  \[16\times {{10}^{-4}}J\]

    C)  \[8\times {{10}^{-6}}J\]     

    D)  \[4\times {{10}^{-4}}J\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The total amount of work done in charging a capacitor, is stored up in the capacitor in the form of electric potential energy U. \[U=\frac{1}{2}C\,({{V}_{2}}^{2}-{{V}_{1}}^{2})\] Given, \[C=8\mu F=8\times {{10}^{-6}}F,\,{{V}_{2}}=25\] volt, \[{{V}_{1}}=15\] volt \[\therefore \] \[U=\frac{1}{2}\times 8\times {{10}^{-6}}\times [{{(25)}^{2}}-{{(15)}^{2}}]\] \[=4\times {{10}^{6}}\times 400=16\times {{10}^{-4}}J\].
