A parallel plate capacitor has circular plates of $10\, cm$ radius separated by an air-gap of $1\, mm$ . It is charged by connecting the plates to a $100\, volt$ battery. Then the change in energy stored in the capacitor when the plates are moved to a distance of $1\, cm$ and the plates are maintained in connection with the battery, is
A
Loss of $12.5\, ergs$
B
Loss of $125\,ergs$
C
Gain of $125\, ergs$
D
Gain of $12.5\, ergs$
Solution
$C = \mathop {\frac{{{ \in _0}A}}{d}}\limits_{\left( {here\,\,d\, – \,1\,mm} \right)} $
${C_{Final = }}\frac{{{ \in _0}A}}{{10d}} = \frac{C}{{10}}$
Loss $ = {E_{initial}} – {E_{final}}$
$ = \frac{1}{2}{V^2}\left( {C – \frac{C}{{10}}} \right)$
$ = 12.5\,\,ergs$
