A capacitor of capacitance C is charged by a battery of EMF E and internal resistance r. A resistance 2r is also connected in series with the capacitor. The amount of heat liberated inside the battery in joules by the time Capacitor gets 50% charged is:-
Details:-
1) EMF of cell= 2 volts 2)Capacitance = 4 F

Firstly we will calculate charge on the capacitor when it is half charged i.e
Q = 2 C V .
Then the work done by battery is :
W b = V ( 2 C V ) = 2 1 C V 2
Energy in the capacitor : U = 2 C Q 2 = 2 C ( 2 C V ) 2 = 8 1 C V 2
Net heat released :
H = W b − U = 8 3 C V 2
Now we know Current through the internal resistance and the external resistance is same hence power is directly proportional to their resistances. So we write :
P r = k r , P R = k R a n d P T o t a l = P r + P R = k ( r + R ) ⇒ k = r + R P T o t a l ⇒ P r = r + R P T o t a l r
Using R = 2 r we get Heat liberated in r = 3 1 of total heat.
Heat liberated in r = 8 1 C V 2
Put the values and get H = 2 J o u l e
