The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided regarding the energy stored in a capacitor when charged by a battery. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that when an uncharged capacitor is charged by a battery, only 50% of the energy supplied is stored in the capacitor. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided states that the rest 50% of the energy is lost. 3. **Energy Supplied by the Battery**: When a capacitor of capacitance \( C \) is charged by a battery of voltage \( V \), the total charge \( Q \) on the capacitor is given by: \[ Q = CV \] The work done (or energy supplied) by the battery to charge the capacitor is: \[ W = Q \cdot V = CV \cdot V = CV^2 \] 4. **Energy Stored in the Capacitor**: The potential energy \( U \) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} CV^2 \] 5. **Calculating the Energy Loss**: To find the energy lost, we can compare the energy supplied by the battery to the energy stored in the capacitor: - Energy supplied by the battery: \( CV^2 \) - Energy stored in the capacitor: \( \frac{1}{2} CV^2 \) The energy lost can be calculated as: \[ \text{Energy lost} = \text{Energy supplied} - \text{Energy stored} = CV^2 - \frac{1}{2} CV^2 = \frac{1}{2} CV^2 \] 6. **Conclusion**: From the above calculations, we see that indeed only 50% of the energy supplied by the battery is stored in the capacitor, while the other 50% is lost (usually as heat due to resistance in the circuit). Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
