An uncharged capacitor is connected to a battery. While charging the capacitor, how much is the energy lost, from the energy supplied by the battery?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let the capacitance of the capacitor is 
and the emf of the battery is V.
Then, charge given to the capacitor is 
.
Work done by the battery is, 
V. i.e., the battery supplies this energy.
Energy stored in capacitor, 
.
Remaining energy 
i.e.,
amount of energy is lost.
