What fraction of the energy drawn from the charging battery is stored in a capacitor?

A

0.75

B

1

C

0.25

D

0.5

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If a capacitor of capacitance C is charged with the help of a charging battery of constant voltage V, then energy supplied by the battery=QV=`CV^(2)`
Hence 50% of the energy drawn from the battery is stored in the capacitor.
