To prove that in charging a capacitor, half of the energy supplied by the battery is stored in the capacitor and the remaining half is lost during charging, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Energy Supplied by the Battery When a capacitor of capacitance \( C \) is connected to a battery with voltage \( V \), the total charge \( Q \) on the capacitor is given by: \[ Q = CV \] The energy supplied by the battery (\( U_B \)) when charging the capacitor can be calculated as: ...
