Questions  

A capacitor of capacitance 160 μF is charged to a potential difference of 200 V and then connected across a discharge tube which conducts until the potential difference across it has fallen to 100 V. The energy dissipated in the tube is

a
6.4 J
b
4.8 J
c
3.2 J
d
2.4 J

detailed solution

Correct option is D

E=12CV2−V′2=12×160×10−6(200)2−(100)2=12×160×10−6×3×104=2.4J
