MCQ
Two identical capacitors are connected in parallel across a potenial difference $V$. After they are fully charged, the positive plate of first capacitor is connected to negative plate of second and negative plate of first is connected to positive plate of other. The loss of energy will be
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} C V^2$
  • $CV ^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4} C V^2$
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$CV ^2$
b
(b)

$U_i=\frac{1}{2} C V^2+\frac{1}{2} C V^2=C V^2$

$U_f=0$

$\Delta U=C V^2$

A plank is moving in a horizontal direction with a constant acceleration $\alpha \hat{ i }$. A uniform rough cubical block of side $l$ rests on the plank and is at rest relative to the plank. Let the centre of mass of the block be at $(0, l / 2)$ at a given instant. If $\alpha =g / 10$, then the normal reaction exerted by the plank on the block at that instant acts at
