Paragraph–1
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. At time t = 0, a battery of 10V is connected across points A and B in the given circuit. If the capacitors have no charge initially, at what time (in seconds) does the voltage across them become 4V?

[IIT-JEE 2014]
Ans. (A,D)
$\mathrm{C}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{K} \varepsilon_{0}(\mathrm{A} / 3)}{\mathrm{d}}(\mathrm{With} \text { dielectric })$
$\&$ let $\mathrm{C}_{2}=\frac{\epsilon_{0}(2 \mathrm{A} / 3)}{\mathrm{d}}(\text { without dielectric })$
$\mathrm{C}=\frac{\mathrm{K} \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{A} / 3}{\mathrm{d}}+\frac{\varepsilon_{0} 2 \mathrm{A} / 3}{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{A} / 3}{\mathrm{d}}[\mathrm{K}+2]$
$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{K}+2}{\mathrm{K}}$
As potential difference is same and gap is same.
$\therefore \mathrm{E}_{4}=\mathrm{E}_{2}$
$\therefore \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=1$
$\mathrm{Q}_{1}=\mathrm{C}_{1} \mathrm{V}, \mathrm{Q}_{2}=\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{V}$
$\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{1}}{\mathrm{Q}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}_{1}}{\mathrm{C}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{K}}{2}$
$\mathrm{C}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{K} \varepsilon_{0}(\mathrm{A} / 3)}{\mathrm{d}}(\mathrm{With} \text { dielectric })$
$\&$ let $\mathrm{C}_{2}=\frac{\epsilon_{0}(2 \mathrm{A} / 3)}{\mathrm{d}}(\text { without dielectric })$
$\mathrm{C}=\frac{\mathrm{K} \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{A} / 3}{\mathrm{d}}+\frac{\varepsilon_{0} 2 \mathrm{A} / 3}{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{A} / 3}{\mathrm{d}}[\mathrm{K}+2]$
$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{K}+2}{\mathrm{K}}$
As potential difference is same and gap is same.
$\therefore \mathrm{E}_{4}=\mathrm{E}_{2}$
$\therefore \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=1$
$\mathrm{Q}_{1}=\mathrm{C}_{1} \mathrm{V}, \mathrm{Q}_{2}=\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{V}$
$\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{1}}{\mathrm{Q}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}_{1}}{\mathrm{C}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{K}}{2}$

[JEE Advanced 2016]
Ans. (A,B,C,D)
(A) At t = 0, capacitor acts as short-circuit
$\therefore$
At $\mathrm{t} \rightarrow \infty,$ capacitor acts as open circuit $\&$ no current flows through voltmeter.
$\therefore$
$\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{x}}=2 \mathrm{CV}\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}\right) \quad \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}$
$\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{y}}=\mathrm{CV}\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{-t / 2 \mathrm{CR}}\right) \quad \mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{2 \mathrm{R}} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}$
$\Delta \mathrm{V}=-\mathrm{y} 2 \mathrm{R}+\frac{\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{x}}}{2 \mathrm{C}}$
$=\mathrm{V}\left[1-2 \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}\right]=0$
(C) $\tau=1$ sec
So by $\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{i}_{0} \mathrm{e}^{-t / \tau}$ current at $\mathrm{t}=1$ sec is $=\mathrm{i}_{0} / \mathrm{e}$
(D) After long time no current flows since both capacitor & voltmeter does not allow.
At $\mathrm{t} \rightarrow \infty,$ capacitor acts as open circuit $\&$ no current flows through voltmeter.
$\therefore$
$\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{x}}=2 \mathrm{CV}\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}\right) \quad \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}$
$\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{y}}=\mathrm{CV}\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{-t / 2 \mathrm{CR}}\right) \quad \mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{2 \mathrm{R}} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}$
$\Delta \mathrm{V}=-\mathrm{y} 2 \mathrm{R}+\frac{\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{x}}}{2 \mathrm{C}}$
$=\mathrm{V}\left[1-2 \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t} / 2 \mathrm{CR}}\right]=0$
(C) $\tau=1$ sec
So by $\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{i}_{0} \mathrm{e}^{-t / \tau}$ current at $\mathrm{t}=1$ sec is $=\mathrm{i}_{0} / \mathrm{e}$
(D) After long time no current flows since both capacitor & voltmeter does not allow.

[JEE Advanced 2017]
Ans. (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) – 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 $\in_{\mathbf{I}}$.
