$100$ 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
A${10^7}\;joule$ and $300\;paise$
B$5 \times {10^6}joule$ and $300\;paise$
C$5 \times {10^6}joule$ and $150\;paise$
D${10^7}\,joule$ and $150\;paise$

C$5 \times {10^6}joule$ and $150\;paise$
c (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$

Consider a sphere of radius $R$ with uniform charge density and total charge $Q$. The electrostatic potential distribution inside the sphere is given by $\theta_{(r)}=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R}\left(a+b(r / R)^{C}\right)$. Note that the zero of potential is at infinity.
