When a capacitor is connected to a battery:

An uncharged capacitor is connected to a battery. Show that half the energy supplied by the battery is lost as heat while charging the capacitor.

If and uncharged capacitor is charged by connected it to a battery, then the amount of energy lost as heat is.

Assertion: When an uncharged capacitor is connected across a battery, half the work done by the battery is stored as electric potential energy inside the capacitor and remaining half is dissipated in the form of heat. Reason: When an uncharged capacitor is connected across the battery then potential difference between the plates of capacitor increases from zero to the value of EMF of battery but battery supplies charge at the constant potential difference.

Mark the incorrect option 1) When an uncharged capacitor is connected across the battery, just after the connections has been made, it behaves as short circuit 2) When capacitor is fully charged it behave as short circuit 3) When capacitor is fully charged it is behaving as open circuit 4) (A) & (C) both.

An Uncharged capacitor C is connected to a battery through a resistance R . Show that by the time the capacitor gets fully charged, the energy dissipated in R is the same as the energy stored in C .
