If the potential of a capacitor having capacity 6 F is increased from 10 ~V to 20 ~V , then increase in its energywill be
Options
- A4 10⁻⁴ ~J
- B4 10⁻⁶ ~J
- C9 10⁻⁴ ~J
- D12 10⁻⁶ ~J
Correct answer
C. 9 10⁻⁴ ~J
Step-by-step solution
Capacitance of capacitor (C) =6 F =6 10⁻⁶ ~F ; Initial potential ( V ₁ )=10 ~V and final potential ( V ₂ )=20 ~V . The increase in energy ( U ) array l = 1 2 C ( V ₂²- V ₁² ) = 1 2 (6 10⁻⁶ ) [(20)²-(10)² ] = (3 10⁻⁶ ) 300=9 10⁻⁴ ~J . array
