2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
hard

Two spherical conductors each of capacity $C$ are charged to potentials $V$ and $ - V$. These are then connected by means of a fine wire. The loss of energy will be

A

Zero

B

$\frac{1}{2}C{V^2}$

C

$C{V^2}$

D

$2C{V^2}$

Solution

(c) $\Delta V = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{C \times C}}{{(C + C)}}\,|V – ( – V){|^2} = C{V^2}$
