Electrostatics Question 587

Question: Three platesA, B, C each of area 50cm2 have separation 3mm between A and B and 3mm between B and C The energy stored when the plates are fully charged is [SCRA 1996]

Options:

A) 1.6×109J

B) 2.1×109J

C) 5×109J

D) 7×109J

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

There are two capacitors parallel to each other.

Total capacitance =2ε0Ad

Energy stored =12(2ε0Ad)V2

=8.86×1012×50×104×1223×103=2.1×109J
