Capacitance Question 6

Question 6 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1)

A $16 \Omega$ wire is bend to form a square loop. A $9 V$ battery with internal resistance $1 \Omega$ is connected across one of its sides. If a $4 \mu F$ capacitor is connected across one of its diagonals, the energy stored by the capacitor will be $\frac{x}{2} \mu J$. where $x=$

Answer: (81)

Solution:

$I=\frac{V}{R _{e q}} I=\frac{V}{R _{e q}}=\frac{9}{1+\frac{12 \times 4}{12+4}}=\frac{9}{4}$

$I _1=\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{4}{16}=\frac{9}{16}$

$V _A-V _B=I _1 \times 8=\frac{9}{16} \times 8=\frac{9}{2} V$

$\therefore U=\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times \frac{81}{4} \mu J$

$\therefore U=\frac{81}{2} \mu J$

$\therefore x=81$
