Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  1. A 4µF conductor is charged to  400 volts and then its plates are joined through a resistance of 1 kΩ. The heat produced in the resistance is
    1. 0.16 J ​
    2. ​1.28 J
    3. 0.64 J
    4. 0.32 J
Correct Option: D

The energy stored in the capacitor =
1
CV²
2

=
1
× 4 × 10-6 × (400)²
2

​= 0.325 ​
This energy will be converted into heat in the resistor
