JEE PHYSICS MCQ: ELECTRIC POTENTIAL AND CAPACITANCE

1 Easy

1 of 1

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A) : When an uncharged capacitor is charged by a battery, only

50 \%

of the energy supplied by a battery is stored in the capacitor.

Reason (R): Rest

50 \%

is lost.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not fully explain the assertion. The energy loss is due to resistance in the connecting wires.
