Current Electricity - Result Question 85

90. A 4μF capacitor is charged to 400 volts and then its plates are joined through a resistance of 1kΩ. The heat produced in the resistance is

(a) 0.16J

(b) 1.28J

(b) 0.64J

(d) 0.32J

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 90. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) The energy stored in the capacitor

=12CV2=12×4×104×400×400=0.32J

This energy will be converted into heat in the resistor.
