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 connected to another battery and is charged to potential difference $2V$. The charging batteries are now disconnected and the capacitors are connected 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$\frac{{25C{V^2}}}{6}$
C$\frac{{3C{V^2}}}{2}$
D$\frac{{9C{V^2}}}{2}$

c (c) Total charge $ = (2C)\,(2V) + (C)\,( - V) = 3CV$
Common potential $ = \frac{{3CV}}{{3C}} = V$
Energy $ = \frac{1}{2}(3C)\,{(V)^2} = \frac{3}{2}C{V^2}$

The two metallic plates of radius $r$ are placed at a distance $d$ apart and its capacity is $C$. If a plate of radius $r/2$ and thickness $d$ of dielectric constant $6$ is placed between the plates of the condenser, then its capacity will be
At the centre of a half ring of radius $R=10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and linear charge density $4 \mathrm{n} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}^{-1}$, the potential is $x \pi V$. The value of $x$ is . . . . .
Two identical electric point dipoles have dipole moments $\overrightarrow{p}_{1}= p\hat i$ and $\overrightarrow{p}_{2}=- p\hat i$ and are held on the $x-$axis at distance $'a'$ from each other. When released, they move along the $x-$axis with the direction of their dipole moments remaining unchanged. If the mass of each dipole is $'m',$ their speed when they arc infinitely far apart is
Two isolated conducting spheres $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ of radius $\frac{2}{3} R$ and $\frac{1}{3} R$ have $12\, \mu C$ and $-3\, \mu C$ charges, respectively, and are at a large distance from each other. They are now onnected by a conducting wire. A long time after this is done the charges on $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are respectively
A charge of $5\,C$ is given a displacement of $0.5\,m$. The work done in the process is $10\,J$. The potential difference between the two points will be.......$V$
In a uniform electric field, a cube of side $1\ cm$ is placed. The total energy stored in the cube is $8.85\mu J$ . The electric field is parallel to four of the faces of the cube. The electric flux through any one of the remaining two faces is.
A capacitor of capacity $C$ is connected with a battery of potential $V$ in parallel. The distance between its plates is reduced to half at once, assuming that the charge remains the same. Then to charge the capacitance upto the potential $V$ again, the energy given by the battery will be
