A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ is connected to a battery and is charged to a potential difference $V$. Another capacitor of capacitance $2C$ is similarly charged to a potential difference $2V$. The charging battery is now disconnected and the capacitors are connect in parallel to each other in such a way that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of the configuration is

B$\frac{3}{2}$ $CV^2$
C$\frac{{25}}{6}$ $CV^2$
D$\frac{9}{2}$ $CV^2$

B$\frac{3}{2}$ $CV^2$
b As both capacitors are in parallel so equivalent capacitance $C_{e q}=C+2 C=3 C$
Net potential, $V_{n}=2 V-V=V$
Energy stored, $U=\frac{1}{2} C_{e q} V_{n}^{2}=(1 / 2) \times 3 C V^{2}=\frac{3}{2} C V^{2}$

$64$ drops each having the capacity $C$ and potential $V$ are combined to form a big drop. If the charge on the small drop is $q$, then the charge on the big drop will be
A particle of mass $m$ and carrying charge $-q_1$ is moving around a charge $+q_2$ along a circular path of radius r. Find period of revolution of the charge $-q_1$
The diagram shows four capacitors with capacitances and break down voltages as mentioned. What should be the maximum value of the external emf source such that no capacitor breaks down ? .......$kV$
The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are charged up to $100\, volt$. A $2\, mm$ thick plate is inserted between the plates, then to maintain the same potential difference, the distance between the capacitor plates is increased by $1.6\, mm$. The dielectric constant of the plate is
Two point charges $-q$ and $+q$ are located at points $(0, 0, -a)$ and $(0, 0, a),$ respectively. The potential at a point $(0, 0, z)$ where $z > a$ is
In a region, the potential is represented by $V(x, y, z) = 6x - 8xy - 8y + 6yz$, where $V$ is in volts and $x, y, z$ are in metres. The electric force experienced by a charge of $2$ coulomb situated at point $( 1, 1, 1)$ is
