    A capacitor of capacity C is charged by connecting it with R according to the figure. Energy supplied by the battery in this process is :

    A)  more than \[\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}\]       

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}\]

    C) \[2C{{V}^{2}}\]                                 

    D) less than\[\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that energy stored in a capacitor is \[\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}},\]but when it is charged, some of the total energy is lost in resistance. Hence, the energy supplied in this process is more than \[\frac{1}{2}C{{V}^{2}}\].
