    If the potential of a capacitor having capacity of 6 mF is increased from 10 V to 20 V, then increase in its energy will be                                                                                            [Pb. PET 2002]

    A)                    12 ´ 10?6 J                      

    B)            9 ´ 10?4 J

    C)                    4 ´ 10?6 J                         

    D)            4 ´ 10?9 J

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               The increase in energy of the capacitor \[\Delta U=\frac{1}{2}C(V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}(6\times {{10}^{-6}})\,({{20}^{2}}-{{10}^{2}})\] \[=3\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 300=9\times {{10}^{-4}}J\]
