NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

A 12 pF capacitor is connected to a 50 V battery. What is the electrostatic energy stored in this capacitor?

A

15 J

B

30 CJ

C

5 CJ

D

3 CJ

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The electrostatic energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula 12CV2\frac{1}{2} C V^2. Using C=12 pFC = 12 \text{ pF} and V=50 VV = 50 \text{ V}, the energy is 12×12×1012×(50)21.5 0˘0b5J\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 10^{-12} \times (50)^2 \approx 1.5 \text{ \u00b5J}.
