A `2 muF` capacitor is charged to 100 V and then its plates are connected by a conducting wire. The heat produced is

A

`0.001 J`

B

`0.01 J`

C

` 0.1 J`

D

`1J`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The whole amout of energy stored in capacitor will convert into heat.
Hence `=1/2CV^(2)=1/2xx2xx10^(-6)xx(1000)^(2)=0.0 J`.
