In an electrical discharge machining process, the breakdown voltage across inter electrode gap (IEG) is 200V and the capacitance of the RC circuit is 50 μF. The energy (in J) released per spark across the IEG is ____

1. 15 J
2. 1.01 J
3. 12 J
4. 1 J

Correct Option: D

Energy =	1	CV²
	2

E =	1	× 50 × 10^-6 × (200)²
	2

E = 1 J
