A capacitor of 
is charged as shown in the figure. When the switch S is turned to position 2, the percentage of its stored energy dissipated is [NEET 2016]
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Consider the given figure,
When the switch S is connected to point 1, then initial energy stored in the capacitor can be given as
When the switch S is connected to point 2, energy dissipated on connection across 
will be
Therefore, percentage loss of energy
