JEE Main 2026 Physics question
A sphere of capacitance 100 pF is charged to a potential of 100 V. Another identical uncharged metal sphere is brought in contact with the charged sphere, then the change in the total energy stored on these spheres, when they touch is α×10⁻⁷ J. The value of α is . (combined capacitance of spheres is 200 pF)
Answer: (B)
Solution
Initial energy=½(100 pF)(100 V)²=5×10⁻⁷ J. Charge shares equally, so the common potential is
