    The plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacity 50\[\mu F\] are charged to a potential of 100 volts and then separated from each other so that the distance between them is doubled. How much is the energy spent in doing so?

    A)  \[\text{12}\text{.5 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]                       

    B)  \[\text{-25 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]       

    C)  \[\text{-12}\text{.5 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]      

    D)         \[\text{25 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From the formula charge on the capacitor is given by \[=CV=50\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 100=5\times {{10}^{-3}}C\] When the separation between the plates is doubled the capacity becomes half \[i.e.,\left( \frac{e}{Z} \right)\]and potential becomes 2V. Now change in energy \[=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{C}{2} \right){{(2V)}^{2}}-\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}\] So, energy spent\[=\frac{1}{2}\times 50\times {{10}^{-6}}\times {{(100)}^{2}}\] \[=25\times {{10}^{-2}}\,Joule\]
