The work done in placing a charge of $8 ??10^{-18}$ coulomb on a condenser of capacity 100 micro-farad is
Updated On: Aug 1, 2022
- $16 ??10^{-32}$ joule
- $3.2 ??10^{-26}$ joule
- $4 ??10^{-10}$ joule
- $32 ??10^{-32}$ joule
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Required work done is $w=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^{2}}{C^{2}}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{\left(8\times10^{-18}\right)^{2}}{10^{-4}}=32\times10^{-32}\,J$
