MHT CET2008PhysicsCapacitance
The energy required to charge a parallel plate condenser of plate separation d and plate area of cross-section A such that the uniform electric field between the plates is E , is
Options
- A1 2 ₀ E² / A d
- B₀ E² / A d
- C₀ E² A d
- D1 2 ₀ E² A d
Correct answer
C. ₀ E² A d
Step-by-step solution
Energy given by the cell aligned & E=C V² Here, C &= capacitance of condenser &= A ₀ d aligned V= potential difference across the plates =E d Therefore, E= ( A ₀ d )(E d)²=A ₀ E² d
