Paragraphβ1 Consider a simple RC circuit as shown in figure 1. Process 1 : In the circuit the switch S is closed at t = 0 and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage $\left.\mathrm{V}_{0} \text { (i.e., charging continues for time } \mathrm{T}>>\mathrm{RC}\right)$. In the process some dissipation $\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}\right)$ occurs across the resistance R. The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{c}}$. Process 2 : In a different process the voltage is first set to $\frac{\mathrm{v}_{0}}{3}$ and maintained for a charging time T >> RC. Then the voltage is raised to $\frac{2 v_{0}}{3}$ without discharging the capacitor and again maintained for a time T >> RC. The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to $\mathrm{V}_{0}$ and the capacitor is charged to the same final voltage $\mathrm{V}_{0}$ as in Process 1. These two processes are depicted in Figure 2.

Q. In Process 1, the energy stored in the capacitor $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}}$ and heat dissipated across resistance $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}$ are related by :-
(A) $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}$
(B) $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{c}}=2 \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}$
(C) $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}$
(D) $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}} \ln 2$

Sol. (A) For process (1) Charge on capacitor $=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3}$ energy stored in capacitor $=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{C} \frac{\mathrm{V}_{0}^{2}}{9}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}$ work done by battery $=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3} \times \frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{9}$ Heat loss $=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{9}-\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}$ For process (2) Charge on capacitor $=\frac{2 \mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3}$ Extra charge flow through battery $=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3}$ Work done by battery $: \frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3} \cdot \frac{2 \mathrm{V}_{0}}{3}=\frac{2 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{9}$ Final energy store in capacitor : $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{C}\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{V}_{0}}{3}\right)^{2}=\frac{4 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}$ energy store in process $2: \frac{4 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}-\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}=\frac{3 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}$ Heat loss in process (2) = work done by battery in process (2) β energy store in capacitor process (2) $=\frac{2 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{9}-\frac{3 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}$ For process (3) Charge on capacitor $=\mathrm{CV}_{0}$ extra charge flow through battery : $\mathrm{CV}_{0}-\frac{2 \mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3}$ work done by battery in this process : $\left(\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}}{3}\right)\left(\mathrm{V}_{0}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{C} \mathrm{V}_{0}^{2}}{3}$ find energy store in capacitor $: \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}$ energy stored in this process : $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}-\frac{4 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}=\frac{5 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}$ heat loss in process ( 3)$: \frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{3}-\frac{5 \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}$ Now total heat loss $\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}\right): \frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}+\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}+\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{18}=\frac{\mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}}{6}$ final energy store in capacitor : $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}$ so we can say that $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{CV}_{0}^{2}\right)$
Q. Three identical capacitors $\mathrm{C}_{1}, \mathrm{C}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{3}$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu \mathrm{F}$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $\mathrm{C}_{1}$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\epsilon_{\mathrm{r}}$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $\mathrm{V}_{0}=8 \mathrm{V}$ . First the switch $\mathrm{S}_{1}$ is closed while the switch $\mathrm{S}_{2}$ is kept open. When the capacitor $\mathrm{C}_{3}$ is fully charged, $\mathrm{S}_{1}$ is opened and $\mathrm{S}_{2}$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium, the charge on $\mathrm{C}_{3}$ is found to be $5 \mu \mathrm{C}$. The value of $\in_{\mathbf{I}}$.
