MCQ
A capacitor of capacitance $C$  is initially charged to a potential difference of $V$ $volt$. Now it is connected to a battery of $2V$ with opposite polarity. The ratio of heat generated to the final energy stored in the capacitor will be
  • A
    $1.75$
  • $2.25$
  • C
    $2.5$
  • D
    $0.5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2.25$
b
Here $q_{i}=C V$ and $q_{f}=2 C V$

As battery is connected with opposite polarity so charge flow through the battery is

$\Delta q=q_{f}-\left(-q_{i}\right)=2 C V+C V=3 C V$

Initial energy stored $, U_{i}=\frac{1}{2} C V^{2}$ and

Final energy stored $, U_{f}=\frac{1}{2} C(2 V)^{2}=2 C V^{2}$

Generated heat, $H=\left(U_{f}-U_{i}\right)-\Delta q(2 V)=2 C V^{2}-\frac{1}{2} C V^{2}-6 C V^{2}=-\frac{9}{2} C V^{2}$

Thus, $\frac{H}{U_{f}}=\frac{9 C V^{2}}{2\left(2 C V^{2}\right)}=2.25$
