A fully charged capacitor has a capacitance 'C'. It is discharged through a small coil of resistance wire embedded in a thermally insulated block of specific heat capacity 's' and mass 'm'. If the temperature of the block is raised by 'DeltaT', the potential difference 'V' across the capacitance is

A

`(ms Delta T)/(C )`

B

`sqrt((2ms Delta T)/(C ))`

C

`sqrt((2ms Delta T)/(s ))`

D

`(mC Delta T)/(C )`

Text Solution
