Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Capacitance MCQ (Single Correct)

The circuit involves two ideal cells connected to a 1 µF capacitor via a key K. Initially the key K is in position 1 and the capacitor is charged fully by 2V cell. The key is then pushed to position 2. Column I gives physical quantities involving the circuit after the key is pushed from position 1. Column II gives corresponding results. Match the statements in Column I with the corresponding values in Column II.

(P) - (R) - (Q) - (P)

Sol. The initial charge on capacitor = CV i = 2 × 1 µC = 2 µC

The final charge on capacitor = CV f = 4 × 1 µC = 4 µC

∴ Net charge crossing the cell of emf 4V is

q f – q i = 4 – 2 = 2 µC

The magnitude of work done by cell of emf 4V is

W = (q f – q i ) 4 = 8 µJ

The gain in potential energy of capacitor is

Δ U = = 1 × [4 2 – 2 2 ] µJ = 6 µJ

Net heat produced in circuit is

Δ H = W – Δ U = 8 – 6 = 2 µJ
