$100$ capacitors each having a capacity of $10\,\mu F$ are connected in parallel and are charged by a potential difference of $100\,kV$. The energy stored in the capacitors and the cost of charging them, if electrical energy costs $108\;paise\;per\;kWh$, will be

(c) Energy stored in the capacitor $ = \frac{1}{2}C{V^2} \times 100$
$ = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times {10^{^{ - 6}}} \times {(100 \times {10^3})^2} \times 100 = 5 \times {10^6}\,J$
Electric energy costs $ = 108\,Paise\,per\,kWH$$ = \frac{{108\,Paise}}{{3.6 \times {{10}^6}\,J}}$
Total cost of charging $ = \frac{{5 \times {{10}^6} \times 108}}{{3.6 \times {{10}^6}}}\, = 150\,Paise$
