Options

  1. ACV2/3C V^2/3
  2. B4CV2/34 C V^2/3
  3. C2CV2/32 C V^2/3
  4. D3CV23 C V^2

Correct answer

B. 4CV2/34 C V^2/3

Step-by-step solution

The given capacitors having capacitance CC and C3\dfrac{C}{3} are connected in parallel across the battery.

The equivalent capacitance CeqC_{eq} of the circuit is:

Ceq=C+C3=4C3C_{eq} = C + \dfrac{C}{3} = \dfrac{4C}{3}

The total charge qq drawn from the battery to fully charge the capacitors is:

q=CeqV=(4C3)Vq = C_{eq}V = \left(\dfrac{4C}{3}\right)V

The work done WW by the battery in supplying this charge is given by the product of the total charge and the potential difference of the battery:

W=qVW = qV

W=(4CV3)VW = \left(\dfrac{4CV}{3}\right)V

W=4CV23W = \dfrac{4CV^2}{3}
