Paragraph: Consider a simple RCR C circuit as shown in Figure 11. Process 1: In the circuit the switch SS is closed at t=0t=0 and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage V0V_{0} (i.e., charging continues for time T>>RCT>>R C ).

  2. B(E_D=3\left(\frac{1}{2} C V_0^2\right))
  3. C(E_D=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{2} C V_0^2\right))
  4. DED=3CV02E_D=3 C V_0^2

Correct answer

C. (E_D=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{2} C V_0^2\right))

Step-by-step solution

For process (i)
Charge on capacitor =CV03= \dfrac{C{V}_{0}}{3}
Energy stored in capacitor =12CV029=CV0218= \dfrac{1}{2}C\dfrac{{V}_{0}^{2}}{9} = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18}
Work done by battery =CV03×V3=CV029= \dfrac{C{V}_{0}}{3} \times \dfrac{V}{3} = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{9}
Heat loss =CV029−CV0218=CV0218= \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{9} - \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18}
For process (ii)
Charge on capacitor =2CV03= \dfrac{2C{V}_{0}}{3}
Extra charge flow through battery =CV03= \dfrac{C{V}_{0}}{3}
Work done by battery: CV03.2V03=2CV029\dfrac{C{V}_{0}}{3} . \dfrac{2{V}_{0}}{3} = \dfrac{2C{V}_{0}^{2}}{9}
Final energy store in capacitor: 12C(2V03)2=4CV0218\dfrac{1}{2}C{\left(\dfrac{2{V}_{0}}{3}\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{4C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18}
Energy store in process 2: 4CV0218−CV0218=3CV0218\dfrac{4C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} - \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} = \dfrac{3C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18}
Heat loss in process (ii) = work done by battery in process (ii) – energy store in capacitor process (ii)
=2CV029−3CV0218=CV0218= \dfrac{2C{V}_{0}^{2}}{9} - \dfrac{3C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18}
For process (iii)
Charge on capacitor =CV0= C{V}_{0}
Extra charge flow through battery: CV0−2CV03=CV03C{V}_{0} - \dfrac{2C{V}_{0}}{3} = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}}{3}
Work done by battery in this process: \left(\dfrac{C{V}_{0}}{3}\right)\left({V}_{0}\right) = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{3}<br/>Findenergystoreincapacitor:<br />Find energy store in capacitor:\dfrac{1}{2}C{V}_{0}^{2}<br/>Energystoredinthisprocess:<br />Energy stored in this process:\dfrac{1}{2}C{V}_{0}^{2} - \dfrac{4C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} = \dfrac{5C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18}<br/>Heatlossinprocess(iii):<br />Heat loss in process (iii):\dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{3} - \dfrac{5C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18}<br/>Nowtotalheatloss(ED):CV0218+CV0218+CV0218=CV026<br />Now total heat loss \left({E}_{D}\right): \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} + \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} + \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{18} = \dfrac{C{V}_{0}^{2}}{6}
Final energy store in capacitor: 12CV02\dfrac{1}{2}C{V}_{0}^{2}
So we can say that ${E}_{D} = \dfrac{1}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}C{V}_{0}^{2}\right)
