KCET2008PhysicsCapacitance
The total energy stored in the condenser system shown in the figure will be
Options
- A2 J
- B4 J
- C8 J
- D16 J
Correct answer
C. 8 J
Step-by-step solution
6 F and 3 F capacitors are in series aligned 1 C ₁ &= 1 6 + 1 3 C ₁ &=2 aligned C ₁ is parallel to 2 F capacitor C _ eq =2+2=4 F Total energy, U = 1 2 CV ²= 1 2 4 (2)²=8 J
