A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a battery and is charged to a potential difference V. Another capacitor of capacitance 2C is ismilarly charged to a potential difference 2V. The charging battery is now disconnected and the capacitors are connected in parallel to each other in such a way that the poistive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of the configuration is

A

zero

B

`(3)/(2) CV^(2)`

C

`(35)/(6) CV^(2)`

D

`(9)/(2) CV^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Net charge `Q =Q_(2)-Q_(1)` potential is `V_(l)`
`:. V_(1)=((C_(0))/(C+C_(0)))V_(0)`
Similarly after nth operation , `E = 1//2C^(1) V^(2)`.
