If the charge on a capacitor is increased by 2C2C, the energy stored in it increases by 4444 %. The original charge on the capacitor is (in CC)

Options

  1. A1010
  2. B2020
  3. C3030
  4. D4040

Correct answer

A. 1010

Step-by-step solution

Energy stored in a capacitor is given by E=Q22CE = \dfrac{{Q}^{2}}{2C}.

Let initial charge be Q0{Q}_{0}.

Then, 1.44(Q022C)=(Q0+2)22C1 . 44\left({Q}_{0}^{2}2C\right) = \dfrac{{\left({Q}_{0} + 2\right)}^{2}}{2C}

⇒1.2Q0=Q0+2⇒ 1 . 2{Q}_{0} = {Q}_{0} + 2

Q0=20.2=10C{Q}_{0} = \dfrac{2}{0 . 2} = 10C
