Two condensers, one of capacity $C$ and the other of capacity $\frac{C}{2}$ , are connected to a $V\, volt$ battery, as shown. The work done in charging fully both the condensers is

A

$\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

B

$2CV^2$

C

$\frac{1}{4}CV^2$

D

$\frac{3}{4}CV^2$

Solution

Net capacitance $=\frac{3 \mathrm{C}}{2}$

total charge stored $=\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{CV}$

Work done in charging $=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{CV}\right) \mathrm{V}$

$=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{CV}^{2}$
