$A$ $10 \mu F$ capacitor is charged by a $100 V$ battery. It is disconnected from the battery and is connected to another uncharged capacitor of capacitance $30 \mu F$. During this process,the electrostatic energy lost by the first capacitor is

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-2} J$
  • B
    $1.25 \times 10^{-2} J$
  • C
    $2.75 \times 10^{-2} J$
  • D
    $3.75 \times 10^{-2} J$

$A$ $10\,\mu F$ capacitor and a $20\,\mu F$ capacitor are connected in series across a $200\,V$ supply line. The charged capacitors are then disconnected from the line and reconnected with their positive plates together and negative plates together,and no external voltage is applied. What is the potential difference across each capacitor?

Two insulated spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ having charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively are connected to each other. There is:

Two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2 = 2C_1$ are connected with a switch $S$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the switch is open and the charge on capacitor $C_1$ is $Q$. Now,when the switch is closed,the final charges on the capacitors are:

Two capacitors of capacitances $3 \mu F$ and $6 \mu F$ are charged to a potential of $12 V$ each. They are now connected to each other,with the positive plate of each joined to the negative plate of the other. The potential difference across each will be $volt$.

If the capacitor connected across $AB$ is charged to $Q$ and then the switch is shifted to position $2$,calculate the heat released after that.
