Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance Ques 44
44. A $4 $ $\mu F$ conductor is charged to $400$ volts and then its plates are joined through a resistance of $1 $ $k \Omega$. The heat produced in the resistance is
[1989]
(a) $0.16 $ $J$
(b) $1.28 $ $J$
(c) $0.64 $ $J$
(d) $0.32 $ $J$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 44.(d)
Solution:
- (d) The energy stored in the capacitor
$=\frac{1}{2} C V^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 10^{-6} \times(400)^{2}=0.32 $ $J$
This energy will be converted into heat in the resistor.
