capacitor is charged to 400 volt. If its plates of joined through a resistance, then heat produced in the resistance will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

0.32 J

Option B (0.32 J) is correct because the heat produced is equal to the initial electrical energy stored in the capacitor, which can be calculated using the formula 1/2 * C * V².
