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 photon of wavelength $\lambda $ is scattered from an electron, which was at rest. The wavelength shift $\Delta \lambda $ is three times of $ \lambda $ and the angle of scattering $\theta $ is $60^o$ . The angle at which the electron recoiled is $\phi $. The value of $tan\,\phi $ is : ( electron speed is much smaller than the speed of light)
