In charging a capacitor of capacitance C...

In charging a capacitor of capacitance C by a source of emf V, energy supplied by the sources QV and the energy stored in the capacitor is ` 1//2 QV`. Justify the difference.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To justify the difference between the energy supplied by the source (QV) and the energy stored in the capacitor (1/2 QV), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Charging Process**: - When a capacitor of capacitance \( C \) is charged by a source of emf \( V \), charge \( Q \) is supplied to the capacitor. The relationship between charge, capacitance, and voltage is given by: \[ Q = CV ...
